I need an Adapter.

j0ebl0w · Mar 2, 2012

I just got an Android 2.3 Tablet in the mail yesterday, but it came with looks like a chinese AC Adapter http://i41.servimg.com/u/f41/15/71/19/35/dsc01314.jpg

... so I couldn't charge the sucker up. Hoping someone could help me find one... The manufacturer probably has one to ship to me, but I'm not waiting another month for it to be delivered from china.

Thanks in advance

That's definitely the asian charging adaptor. Is there no usb charging option on that? And out of curiosity... how much did you buy that for? And why did you buy that?

I think, I'd read from your picture "Output 5V/1.5A", right?

If so, find a standard USB wall charger.
USB chargers have a standard 5V output. The output current should be 1.5A or more.

You'd use your phone's wall charger, but I think, it has only 1A output.
But you'd try it for just to see if the tab will charging.

I paid 200$ + tax for it, free shipping, supposedly the regular price was 287$ (I find that hard to believe though). From a Chinese company. It was supposed to be delivered within 14 days after I ordered it, but apparently there was a mix up, and some confusion, didn't receive it until the first of March O_O You can imagine how happy I was when I couldn't charge it... I was hoping I could charge it Via USB port but not the case.

Didn't fit

Actually the plug is 9v - 1.5 A :-\

My bad for not checking sooner.

Would this work?

The round connector might be bigger?

But you might try that converter:

I think the AC adapter has a wide input voltage range (100 to 240V AC), so you won't need to convert the voltage

Ahh, dang..That should work.. I just don't want to pay 10$ to have it shipped... :-\

Now I know what to look for...Maybe I'll find it cheaper..I'm gonna check Monoprice.

Thanks though
