This rechargeable night light and torch was not charging the battery. After investigation I discovered the charging circuit in the mains part, the rather crude oscillator had a resistor burnt out. I researched the item and found several references to similar units and the burnt out resistor.
Here's where I found out most of the information. http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/View... Replacing the resistor fixed the unit as no other components were found to be faulty.
