[Duo2400] Duo Dock Tick of Death

[Goodwin, Greg]

    The tick sounds much like the problem I had with one of my docks.  Power supply, to put it simply (and we looked and probed) has gone bad.

    I'm looking for another power supply.  Just easier that way.

Subject: [Duo2400] Duo Dock Tick of Death


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.
