Duo Dock Tick of Death

[Andrew Wiens]

Hi.  I am purchasing a dock from someone who does not own a duo and 
he has no way to test it other than plug it in.  When it is plugged 
in he says: "I plugged to Dock in to the wall  socket, it whirred, 
ticked, then went
silent. I unplugged it, waited a while, and plugged it back in, same
result"  My question is:  can a dock have the tick of death and not 
tick unless there is a duo in it?  Also, if it only ticks once and 
then goes silent, does it necessarily have the tick of death? Thanks, 
I haven't owned a dock in 4 years and I don't remember a tick when 
plugging it in to the wall.
