Re: MD: AC Adapter

2000-02-06 Thread Edmund Wong


 Does anyone know where in the UK I can source a replacement adapter (i.e.
 3-pin plug to 2-pin socket, 240v to 100v)?  Better still, is the Sharp
 adapter for UK models (ADT20APE I think) available to purchase separately?

Any AC adapter that's rated for 4.5v to 5.5v at 700mA to around 900mA
should techinically work with the unit as long as it has the same plug.

Don't take my word for it, though.

Sony 4.5v at 700mA adapters have been reported to work fine, albiet
charging at a slower speed.

I'm in the UK and I have a Japanese model Sharp 821.  I bought this about 8
months ago from Electronics Shopping Mall together with a Newstar NF-60 AC
adapter (220v to 100v).  I also have the Sharp adapter (AD-MD1AP 100v to 5v)
which I assume comes as standard with the Japanese models.

Unfortunately, the Newstar adapter has blown up leaving me with no immediate
means of charging the minidisc.

I can get you a decent 1000mA AC adapter, with a regulated 5V DC output, 
which is actually better than the one which Sharp supply.

It should work fine with any Sharp machine, as I have done one for a 
friend's MD-MS831 which he bought from Japan, and another for someone else 
with an MD-MT161 (exclusive to Dixons, in case you've never heard of this 
model). It also works fine on my 722, although I have the proper adapter 
for that anyway.

Right, enough waffling - to the point. I can get you one and put the 
special yellow DC plug on it, and send it to you for 20 GBPounds, including 
PP to anywhere in the UK.

Let me know so I can order one up for you if you want one :-)

Cheers,

Wrighty
