GusG Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I just Bought an electric plug with an usb port so I could charge my walkman in travelsBut after I pluged it it only turns on the device but the power bar doesnt move.I know there's an AC charger from Sony so I was hopeful this one could work too. Anyone has an ideia why it doesn't? Edited January 22, 2008 by GusG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 atown8605 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think there has to be a resitor connecting the 2 data wires. It is about 220 ohms.I made my own charger and this is the only way it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 peter3hg Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I use the transfofrmer from my old NW-A1000 with my NWZ-A816. It seems to work perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
