My dx6490 stopped charging. Found out why.

Mar 30, 2005 7:22AM PST

I've received a lot of mileage from my Koday dx6490 but 2 weeks ago it stopped charging in the dock.

I found a dx7590 with dock and it arrived today. The docks are compatible so between the two I figured I could deduce the problem. Here's the result. The dx6490 suffered some mishad with the connector in the bottom of the camera. I see one contact seems missing.

I'll order the travel battery charger for the dx6490 since that will work and the pictures can be retrieved via the USB cable just fine.

The dx7590 looks sharp and has more pixels and features than the old dx6490. I hope it gets as great battery life as the old one.

Just sharing so that others may know to look for this issue if they run into it.

Bob
