On the front of the plug that slides into the collar it has a little lip on it. Shave that little lip off and the plug can slide a little further in. It helped mine a lot.

Valley creek supply folks do that at English days for the same problem and that took care of it. Larry

Dang Joey, thanks for the tip, why didn't I think of that? Makes sence, since mine only charges when I thoroughly jam it up in the groove.

I keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Use it to clean about every third charge and occasionally clean out the port with a toothpick. Its worked well for me.
