DH10p power adaptor dead... alternative?

[Ichisuke]

So today I've found out that the power adaptor for my dh10p is not working anymore.

The model is AC-ES608K3 and it has the "europlug". I could buy one with the UK plug and insert a compatible euro plug or buy an universal adaptor.

Anyway I've tried with the PSP ac adaptor and the minidisc works in the cradle without battery and charge too, although when I connect it the red charging light blinks for 2 seconds then remains steady red. The PSP one is 5v 2000mA while the minidisc one output is 6v 800mA.

Could I damage something using the PSP one? Is it better to buy a compatible/original adaptor with the right volts values?

Sorry for my english.

I suggest there is no real possibility of damage, the low voltage is not enough to trigger the charging circuit, the higher current of the adapter you have for PSP is just there and unused.

You need A 6v adapter 800mA or greater current, voltage should be at 6 ...

You are very unlikely to damage the DH10P with the PS adapter. If it works, great. Otherwise you do need that extra one volt. Which country are you in? I have a box full of AC-608K's and most probably have a 2-pin Euro one somewhere.

Ok... Some years have passed.... Sorry to bumping up an old thread but is there someone that can help me?

Thanks anyway.

EDIT: found it on ebay from a chinese seller. I don't know if they are "orignal". But it works fine.
