Power Supply Unit plug does not fit ???

[F_Slim]

Hi,


sorry, I am pretty upset right now: I received my Pandora last Thursday, but without battery or power-supply unit. Ok, ED send them to me the same day, but it took UPS until today (Monday) to finally deliver them!


I unpack the power-supply unit and try to plug it into my Pandora and?? ... the plug is too large. It does not fit!


And I am not talking about "scrap off a bit of plastic and it will fit", it is definately the wrong connector for that socket!


Am I the only one with that problem?


is this some kind of joke? Because I don't think this is funny any more ... :mellow:


(No, I don't have a PSP, and one should not have to go and buy a PSP power unit because the damn connector of the original does not fit! DAMN! <wild curses and bad words I can not post here>! :angry: )


Well I guess I'll try to boot with the battery later and charge it over the USB-port ... hope this works

A curious set of mistakes, and as ED is quite careful I'm surprised it could happen; got any pics of the psu and its connector, beside the pandora connector you're trying to jack into?


(Silver lining.. at leas you got a pandora and a battery, and you should be able to sort out via usb with any luck, unless the battery was totally drained; how'd it go?)

Somebody talked about powwer supplies arriving in two parts in large boxes. Maybe some of them got the wrong connector...


Edit: I mean a mistake of the supplyer.


Edit2: maybe you could charge with the usbport for now?

There should be a small adaptor cable at the end of the cable of the main AC adaptor.


Was the package damaged somehow? Did that cable get lost?


I can send you one of those cables, just wondering how it got lost (I checked the adaptor before I shipped it).


I wonder why you made a support post on the boards here.. who else can help you with that except for me?

You are right. That was a pretty dumb thing to do. I am sorry! Forums + being upset is a bad combination :unsure:


I will write you a PM.


On the bright side: the battery had 60%, so I could boot it up (messed up setting up my name because of umlauts though) and so far it runs fine and loads (sloooowly) via USB now

With a good USB charger (1A or more) you can charge it pretty fast in my opinion. I use this method everytime I'm on vacation.

 

[mcobit]

I think it can only draw 0.5 A from the usbport to not damage PC usbports, while it can be charged with 1A with the charger.

 

[ensoniq2k]

The sticker inside it says it can do 1.1 A on USB and 1.7 over standard charging port IIRC. I have to admit that I mostly use my combined mini USB + PSP charging port cable. But the few times I used a pure mini USB cable worked flawlessly too.

Unless the driver has been changed with super zaxxon, the USB charging is hard coded to a max of 500ma regardless of what the chip can support.
