Infant Optics DXR-8: How can I secure the charging port of my Infant Optics DXR-8

Sat, 11 Aug 2018 19:54:41 -0700

The charging port on the monitor is loose, I think. We have to hold the charging cable in just the right way for it to charge. Can I just go in there, adjust it, and hot glue it in place? Will that last?

Infant Optics DXR-8: NO Sound from One Camera But Second one works fine

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 10:24:49 -0700

I all of a sudden can't hear from one of my cameras. I have two paired with the monitor and I can hear the second one fine but can't hear the first one. Any thoughts? I tried blowing out the speaker cord on top of the camera to make sure there wasn't any dust in it and still nothing. At the highest level I can only hear static.

Infant Optics DXR-8: I need to replace the power cord receiver located in the monitor.

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 09:17:40 -0700

The monitor has a micro USB female receiving port to charge the battery. If I plug in the USB cable just right the battery charges; however, just right means a combination of things including: laying the unit on it's back; placing a 1-2lb item in the USB cord to maintain the charge. It's annoying and I'm highly confident I just need to replace the receiving end of the charger.
