266925 2004-08-30 05:35:00 Hi there,
Could someone please tell me whether there is some sort of wall charger that you can buy that will enable an MP3 player that is charged through a USB slot, to be charged by plugging it into a power socket. For example when going on holiday and not having access to a PC. The MP3 player is a Ceative Dgital LX100 player.

Thanks in advance

Jase

That plus a regulated 5V wall brick, or an unregulated one and a 7805 and a couple of capacitors will do it. Just be careful with the polarity ... (I think 5V is pin 1 and gnd is pin 4). ;-) Graham L (2)
