Arr-Nine-Hundred Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I just got one of these but the seller has misplaced these items. They are unique to the unit so I cannot use the AA sidecar from other MD units and the cable is not a mini or micro USB type. Many thanks!

jim.hoggarth Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi again. I think you may have emailed me direct with this question, but I thought I would reply here as it may interest others. I will look for a battery box for you, but I am almost 100% sure I don't have one. If I do find one, I seem to recall there is a 6-volt adapter socket on the side. It would be interesting to see if connecting to this will also charge the internal battery. As for the USB cable - these are very difficult to get hold of. Nearly every MZ-N10 that appears for sale these days seems to be missing the cable, and of course it is unique to the N10 (and the NH1). However, a thought occurred to me the other day - perhaps it is possible to mount a different style of socket on the BCA-WM21U cradle unit, and to fit a matching plug on the end of a standard USB cable. or to simply have a short cable coming out of the N10 cradle, with an in-line socket on the end. It may not look pretty, but it will work. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 That's a great idea Jim! Modify the dock to use a standard USB mini socket* ... If I recall, my N10 sidecar does have the yellow DC input that you mention and I believe it does charge the internal battery using this input. I will have to test to confirm. I have four N1 docks which have the mini USB socket, perhaps this dock, which seems to be more common could be used in the "Franken-dock" ...

rlanda Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I have the same problem, no usb cable for my NZ-N10 Please post some photos if you did the franken-dock thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Anyway for me and the others to understand, I add the pictures of the cable and the AA battery side car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arr-Nine-Hundred Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Anyway for me and the others to understand, I add the pictures of the cable and the AA battery side car Many thanks for that Philippe, good reference pics. Why the smeg Sony didn't go with a standard mini-USB like the rest of planet Earth is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have four of them, one for my NH1, one for my N10 and one for each of my DH10P units. I wonder if you can still get it directly from Sony?

If some third party is charging $40 I bet Sony's price was way more than that! Looking at the picture in the Ebay listing, I'd say this is stock from the Sony run, either pre- or post- Sony. The blue sticker looks (from a distance) absolutely identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
