I've Lost My Usb Lead - Can Anyone Point Me In The Right Direction

[jdspinks]

As title - have lost my usb cable - Wiz is now drained of power. I have been around a few mobile and computer stores looking for replacements. Also checked a few online GP2X stores and they have them on backorder. Anyone know where else I could try or what the motorola model usb is so I can start searching for that?

Thanks in advance

Its an important point: without that cable, your Wiz is useless. Curse that dratsy EXT2 port!

Hi!

They are available in EvilDragon's shop (Germany). look here.
Or you can use a Samsung cellphone charger, e.g. fo the E810.

Hey Sbock - thanks for reply. I'll be able to find a E810 lead now, fingers crossed that will work. I appreciate your help.
hack, hack, hack - I agree curses for EXT2 port - I've found every type of USB lead in my house except the one that counts!!

did you have to modify the e810 charger as shown in the wiki or does it work out of the box?

I was thinking of buying one, but don't know how to modify it (never done it) or have the stuff to do it.

 

[jdspinks]

Worked straight out the box, it was perfect.

Yeah, just as jdspinks said, it's all good. The E810 charger works perfect straight out of the box! B)

 

[rex303]

thanks for the info, I will start looking for one.

I also read on the wiki there appear to be different versions of the e810 charger, is that possibile?

 

[Nintendo]

Yeah, mate. There was an old one where the end of it looked like this (we can't use it for Wiz obviously)...

And then the newer-current ends (Wiz compatible) looks like this...

EDIT:

Note: Samsung E810 mobile phone car chargers examples used.

 

[varan77]

THNX SONY! Just ordered myself one of those!

I bought a couple of these off e-bay too but it seems they only charge my Wiz. When I turn the device on while charging it starts up as if it were not on the charger. It does not come up and ask which memory I wand to connect to and I cannot transfer files.
