I got my charger, and now it won't charge.

Everytnig's right.. plugs are in.. batteris the right way.. but it seems that the contacts on the bottom of the battery cover aren't touching the battery nicely. So far.. after 4 hours I've had no luck. But than an inspriration struck! TIN FOIL! SO I've now covered the end of one battery with tinfoil to try to make it work.

HAs anyone else had this kind of touble? Now I'm starting to regret shelling out 47.90 for this..

HELP!

oen more thing.. I've tested the cable by putting a lightbulb on it.. and the light bulb shined, so I know it's between the battery and the contacts. The cable works

hmm. my original post ran away.

I got it to work! At first I did it with tinfoil, but than I was scared of short circuiting.. so I researched a little bit and found out that you needed to bend the contact back a bit, so that it can hit the battery. Now it works wonderfully! I LVOE TI!
