Hi All,
I bought my N770 while visiting the UK a few months back.
The charger (AC4-X) cable snappt at the root of the end that goes to the
wall. Now I cannot charge my device :-(
I am now back home and this particular charger model isn't available.
Furthermore, the local Nokia rep doesn't support the N770 because it
isn't a cell phone....
I know all new models come with a similar charger (with the mini plug)
and so I found a charger with similar tech specs (input and output), by
similar I mean the output mA is 860 instead of 890...
I charged it once with a friend's charger and it worked fine - except 2
things:
I charged it while the device was off. The battery icon showed up and
after a few second begun to animate the charge. A while later I noticed
the screen was off completely - no indication for the charging process.
I turned the device on and it booted faster than usual and the battery
animation was still showing....
The other thing I noticed was: the charge didn't last like it used to. I
might be wrong, because I left FBReader open and the Online Mode on (I
usually don't have network access at work, so I leave it Offline).
Is it OK to use a different charger with the same specs? Am I doing
something that will cause damage to the device? the battery?
You can use any Nokia charger with a 2mm connector - I often use the one
I got with my Nokia 6131 phone. It is the same charger used by the
N-series of Nokia phones.
You can also buy a small adapter cable from the Nokia 3.5mm connector to
the new 2mm connector, in case you have old Nokia adapters lying around
like I have.
