I was doing my routine weekly hour long soak of my ego attys in alcohol and suddenly realized I had four, not three, in the alcohol. I only have three attys. I soon realized that I had put in the ego adapter for a 510 wall battery charger--they look a lot like the attys and I just wasn't paying much attention. I pulled it out right away, but looks like serious damage might've been done. Although at first I was getting a green light showing that the batteries were charged, now I'm just getting a flickering white light on the batteries themselves, then a solid green on the adapter. But none of the batteries seem to work, and as I said, I just cleaned all of my attys.
Could there be a differential diagnosis? Barring some other cause for the failure, is there any fix for a poisoned adapter? Blowdrying it, whathaveyou? I normally swab inside the connectors anyway--but I could see how soaking it would cause some major problems. I really don't know enough about batteries, circuits, etc. to know if this could be the source of the plm (although all signals point to yes, of course).
Another newbie idiot feeling especially dumb tonight. And especially grateful to the person(s) who can give me some advice on this.
