Not having a yellow light on the charger means it's not getting any power, have you tried a different power point, maybe the surge protector on the powerboard was triggered by a power surge or a fault ?

Do the USB ports on the transformer work, have you tried to charge something off these ?
If they don't it means either the transformer is fried or the power board no longer works

Where are the red lights, from the battery or the charger status light ?

Do the batteries charge when they are in the spark using the USB cable ?
The plug adaptor into the power board sometimes looses connection with the plug, try and reset that, maybe turn it around.

While charging the first time, did any of the batteries show these statuses

Yes , i tried different power point and still same, no lights is on
Usb ports on transformer works, i tried to charge my phone on it and its work. But when i put cable connector into batery charging hub in that moment Usb ports doensn't work.
Batteries are chargeing when they are in spark chargeing via usb cable.
Also when i put micro usb cable in to battery charging hub the red light on the hub is On .

Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the charging base to the transformer ?

Is it every section that cannot charge or is it only one that has a red light ?

Yes i tried disconetcting and connecting again . Is not show up any light . As u can see in the video in the link up .. in just one case that the light of the hub is On is when i put micro usb cable to Hub and in Pc for example . But with power cable it wont work , no light on the hub , no light on the bateries.
Here i uploaded a video for the first time that i plugged Hub and Bateries into the power.

In your first video , the first battery is showing an over current, does that battery even work in the spark, the DJI Go 4 app would be showing errors I suspect

This is the only other thread on https://mavicpilots.com/threads/ ... -full-charge.10111/

I suspect the battery will be ok if the Go4 app allows you to use it.
Not sure if you can reflash the charger through the micro USB port, you would need the firmware file from DJI.
The instruction mention firmware updates for the charger

Are you sure, your adapter (for your power cabel) is working?
Can you charge your phone via USB port from the power adapter?
Have you tried a adapter cabel fitt in to the powerplug directly?

And question to DJI: Has the adapter a fuse, that can be gone off?

Looks like the first battery has a faulty cell, can you charge this battery properly by using the spark and a usb cable

I think the electronics in the charging base are damaged, as the transformer can charge via usb.
There is no power reaching the charging base, could it be a kinked power cable, have you tried straightening and moving this around to see if any lights turn on

Maybe there is a problem with the connector, damaged pins, it can only fit one way as there is a notch on the plug that needs to align, if it was pushed in the wrong way, maybe the pins are bent inside the connector plug

sounds like a defective battery hub.  I'd wait for DJI Support to guide you along the return/replace process.

Have you tried another plug in your location (hotel/guesthouse?)

I see a Germany in your original location, but the plug look more SEA/American
And you plug an Adapter for europe in the wallplug, which looks also SEA/American.
I would try to get a powercable for the area you are in!
It is easy, the plug at the DJI power adapter is a common small electric powerplug, like shavers, radios, that stuff

Only to make sure, that the adapter/plug/wallplug combination is not faulty, somehow

I would check out the battery on the Go 4 app where you can see each off the cells, they should all have a similar voltage, if one drops the battery can shut down

Just got my Spark bundle today, and I have the exact same problem. Hub worked the first time to get the batteries out of hibernation, but now seems to be dead. No lights, no charging. The USB charger on the power brick seems to work fine, and I can charge the controller with that, but when I plug the brick into the charging hub, the USB ports stop charging, and nothing else happens. Bad batch of charging hubs?

"...maybe they were built on a Friday ..."

wasn't that a monday build? ;-)

To the "faulty Hub"- owner

If the USB of the poweradapter works, can you charge batts one by one in the spark?
(Sorry in case this was pointed out already)
So you can fly and try to find a solution with DJI
(Sending back only the hub?)

Charge your battery directly with your A/C may solve the issue. You may charge the times after with your hub. It was how I solved my problem with a new battery before.
Good luck!
