Charging problems? Help?

Hello! I have the classic 2nd gen bamboo street. I notice that when I plug in my fast charger into my board nothing happens until either I try it again or if I wait for 5-10 minutes. Any solutions? I'm also curious of what the fuse switch does. My remote on the other hand, I'm not even sure if it's charging, when I plug the charger into the remote no LED lights come up. Is this suppose to happen? I really don't want to buy a new remote Any reply would be helpful thank you
