Ms. Wintering experienced that phenomena on one of mine. Unplugged, plug in, unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug in again, and it came back to life..... Maybe give that a try.
What happened to my Slim Charger?

I'm like jenjen have never even unplugged any of my chargers stayed in outlet all the time waiting to charge batts and have never had charger go out on me......I quess I've been lucky.
The Diamond Help thread was one I started - I had never unplugged a charger to put on a battery and then re-plugged either, wouldn't have thought to do it until it happened to me... It goes counter to the "twist until the battery light comes on" advice... I still don't do unplug my older more "trust worthy" chargers. But on that thread I counted 4 others with fried batteries, and it appears that the common link was a plugged in charger. My slim charger is now sitting in my drawer - it got a total of one use. Just don't trust it, and can't afford to lose another battery.

So... problem...solved?
Hubby decided that he was going to fix the issue, and gave the battery an extra 3/4 turn into the charger. It was already seated in there quite well, and didn't feel like turning any further would do anything but damage, but.. now it's working again.
Is it possible for the post in the charger to get pushed down?

I'm sure it possible, but more that likely improbable if the force is coming from the post of the battery. Battery posts are extremely pliable and the thickness of the outer ring is paper thin.
I had an interesting thing happen yesterday, not sure if it is related but it is noteworthy. In an effort to try and cause an issue with the Charger I vape a V2 until it was dead. Then just to drain it down further I gave it another 12 or so draws just to light up the L.E.D.
With the Charger plugged into the wall I screwed the battery in....the charger light remained green. So I took it off and put it back on....again, the light remained green. So I unplugged the Charger, then attached the battery and plugged it into the wall....still green. Took another Slim Charger out, put the battery on it...plugged it in....light was green again.
Hmmmm......
Took out an old Charger, went to screw the battery in, the light started green, while screwing it in it turned red, when screwed all the way, turned green again. So I backed it out until the LED turned red and left it to charge. Couple of hours later the LED was green, tossed a Carto on it and it works fine.
Both the battery and charger appear to be working fine....so anyways, just wanted to share.

Thankfully, my one Slim Charger is still working absolutely fine. (Hope I didn't just jinx it!
