|
|
Hi,
When I got my ipaq it was supplied with a power cable which had a rounded end and this plugged into a 'flat' adapter which would then plug into the bottom of the ipaq. I've since lost the adapter and I'm wanting to charge my ipaq in the car without having to use the car kit. Is there anywhere I can get a replacement adaptor from? |

I bought a couple of spare from totalgps.co.uk a year or so ago.......only a coupple of quid.......
I think they called them a "power dongle"
Just found an expensive version here

or go into any O2 shop and buy a connector for an XDA2 (not the "S" version), as I think this is the same.
They're £9.95 |

Indeed.....a bit of a generic term...they may as well have called it a "power-thingy"...... |

Don't forget ,if your car holder does the the voltage reduction you will need to find another way of reducing it down to the ipaqs voltage input.
