problem with battery pack charging ND-2700
I recently ordered an ND-2700 and external battery pack that takes AA batteries from MyDigitalDiscount.com. However, the battery pack adapter is too large to fit into the "battery" plug receptor on the ND-2700. It only fits into the "AC" plug receptor.
Therefore, I tried to charge my ND-2700 two different ways:
First, I tried to charge it while it is turned off and the battery pack is turned on and plugged into the AC plug receptor. However, this had no effect on helping charge the ND-2700's internal battery.
Second, I used a knife to enlarge the "battery" plug receptor on the ND-2700, then plugged in the battery pack and left it turned on for several hours. Again, this had no effect on helping charge the ND-2700's internal battery. (I took this desparate measure because I'm currently on a photo assignment in the Caucasus Mountains along the border of Chechnya, and I have to get my ND-2700 working!)
