I have a Ring 2 Door Bell which will no longer charge. It had bee installed with a resister and is powered by a 24V AC Transformer. When I checked the transformer was dead and I ordered a replacement. Immediately after replacing the transformer I noticed the inline resistor was heating up.
At this time I used a multi-meter to test the continuity / resistance of door bell screws on the back of the ring device. It was reading 0 Oh, a dead short.
Is there a method to repair the contact / relay within the Ring 2 doorbell so I can get the device to work again?
Thank You,
