Hi Folks,

I have an Iwantit iw250 (http://images.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dealclick.co.uk/ukimgs/thumb/12143814.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dealclick.co.uk/reviews/personal-audio.php%3Fsubcat%3Dmp3-players&h=53&w=100&sz=2&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=Ipz5uQ2ww7kULM:&tbnh=43&tbnw=82&prev=/images%3Fq%3Diw250%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN) and was hoping someone could help. I think the power adapter is busted, and am looking to replace it.

Input : 100-240V~50/60Hz
Output: 12VDC 2.0A

Anyone got any idea where i could pick up one of these? Is it necessary or could I replace it with something like this (http://cgi.ebay.ie/Universal-UK-Mains-AC-DC-Adaptor-3v-4-5v-6v-7-5v-9v-12v_W0QQitemZ140204898384QQihZ004QQcategoryZ96942QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Any advice much appreciated

Make sure you get a regulated power supply.

I went for a cheap variable converter and may have fried my iRiver H140 :mad:

I would suggest going with another OEM charger, or maybe they have forums on the manufacturers site that might recommend something ?

Yea and make sure the polarity is right.

Depending where you are Peats or Maplin are a good bet. There is a list of stores at the bottom of the page on the maplin site.

You can get these adaptors most places, including the € store for €2, but I wouldn't trust the adaptor on your i-river. Best go to Maplin/Peats and bring the old adaptor with you.
