Anyone come across common problems with this or a replacement source
please? It is an Optimus CLV-A900T and also seems to be known as a
Recoton with a similar number. It says on it CUSTOM MANUFACTURED IN
CHINA FOR RADIOSHACK/TANDY CORP but they deny all knowledge. There is
also a cat number on it which is 40-1372.

The one i have has just completely died: No light or symptoms when
plugged in. I checked on line and others seem to have had this
problem, though they cured it by buying a replacement.

There is one baffling point which is that there is what is known as a
'charge' socket on the back (as opposed to an AC adapter socket) along
with a charge light on the back. Unless someone knows better, I
checked inside and there doesn't seem to be any battery inside to
charge and potentially short the circuit when it goes bad.

"The CHARGER jack on the transmitter is for charging the
RadioShack PRO-100 Wireless Headphones (Cat. No. 33-1145).
Do not plug any other device into this jack"
