Tom,
I just emailed the seller. He is not very quick to reply. Funny thing is
that I've just won another auction of him, for an adapter, which is
stated as being 24V 1.5 A. The auction ended 2 days ago, and did email
him early yesterday, but I still have to hear from him.
I'll follow-up from there. BTW, I already tried to flash the ROM in the
recharger to no avail. Still nothing. My 280c is still disassembled, so
I won't be able to use it to try to flash the ROM in a little while.
Thanks all!
-Laurent.
