it didnt include a power supply

Does the device have writing on it where the power cord plugs in? Any voltage or wattage/amps rating? If so then you can get the adaptor from an elecronics store. They can help you at the store to find the right one to fit.

i was looking around my house checking telephones and any adapteres i got and i found two =D, from my previous cellphones, it seems compatiable w/ my nokia power adapters whats also funny is im using a nokia usb cable A to B mini cable

[Virtualbody1234]

Don't use the wrong adaptor!!! Even if the plug fits, it doesn't mean it has the right voltage.

[ooo]

well my adapter uses really low voltages its 100-120 volts i checked, i think only low voltages r needed for this one , it doent support heavy stuff since it uses a mini b to transfer files and my bigger power adapters didnt seem to work, the hole is so small, none of my other ones worked at all

well it seems i cant plug a usb card reader into it

100-120 volts is the input voltage of the adaptor. It's the output voltage that's important here.

[tesco]

100-120volts is high voltage for something like that. :lol:

that's the output from your wall socket, input to your adaptor. what's the output on the adaptor, and as vb1234 said, how many volts is the hub rated (if it says).

[ooo]

no its a cheap hub, it didnt even say it required the power adapter, i thought it would just use from the computer but apparantly not, the packaging and everything was so cheap

my power adapter uses input 120vac, 60hz, 45ma, output 3.7v - 350ma its a nokia phone charger

[Virtualbody1234]

Check the users manual for the voltage rating.

There's a contact button on their web page, why not email them and ask? :frusty:

[Livy]

that adapter wont work anyway, for a start the voltage is to long, usb works on 5v.
and the current is far to low aswell.
if the adapter goes pop, dont blame us.

edit: usb can supply 500ma PER PORT,

[ooo]

lol well my 1gb usb pen drive prob got fried, it over heats now =( like i put it in and it saisd I/O error, =( that sucks, my usb card reader wont work w/ that adapter i'll prob email them some time

This is a perfect example of why it's wise to invest in one of those ratshack universal adapters with the adaptiplugs.

Get a 1.0 amp one and you won't regret it.
