I took the part that actually plugs into the wall off of the wall wart for transportation and I lost it somewhere. Does anybody know if I can just get the replacement plug or if I need a whole new adapter?
I asked the same question yesterday - nobody bothered to respond
You can get any 12V, 2A adapter with 1.7 mm input jack. If you are in the US/Canada - search radioshack for enercell
If you do a search on MPA-630 12V 2A you will find quite a few replacement options as this is the same adapter used for the Kodak Digital Picture frames. I ordered one from a China based reseller to arrive mid Jan for under $20. Several are available from US shippers for a few dollars more.
Crap, so I can't just buy the part that slides into the wall wart?

my standerd mains charger has a removable plug in section. so i was wondering if HTC make the interchangable ends for use in europe or usa ect... and were i could purchase them for not alot of money in the UK
also a space USB cable, were would i get one for cheap in the uk? would be handy to keep a spare as i hear they do break.
Thanks
i bought a second charger on ebay to get a second USB cable, cost 6 dollars shipped
dont know where to buy foreign plug adapters though
If you read the label on the adapter itself, you will see it is compatible with a wide range of voltages and frequencies. Its actually a small transformer, and you will notice that laptop power supplies also have the same "worldwide" compatibility. So all you actually need is a plug adapter to actually get the prongs to fit into the wall outlets of the countries you intend to travel to. You can usually get these for a few bucks at travel stores, airports, and other places. This is the cheapest way to do it, and that way you can often use those adapters with your other electric devices (electric razor, iPod, whatever) depending on the electrical specs of those devices.
Hello all,
I am looking for a small DC adapter for the viewsonic g tablet, does anyone have any recommended site where I can buy it?
TIA
I bought a slimmer wall charger on eBay last week. I'm still waiting for it arrive but here's a photo from the auction.
It can be found by searching for " 12V AC Adapter Power Supply For Kodak MPA-630 "

I realized earlier today that the ac adapter for the GTablet is the exact same model as the ac adaptor is for my kodak picture frame. the model number is MPA-630. I did test the one from my frame and yes it does work. If having the word kodak on the charger doesn't not bother you and you want to get it not directly from china you can pick up a replacement ac adaptor for the kodak digital picture frame SV811 or just search for the ac adaptor model number in ebay or google it.

Anybody know of one where the little prongs fold away?

The current LG portable DVD players (DP581 etc) have similar power requirements and their mains power adaptor fits the g-tablet perfectly.
The LG portable DVD players also ship with car power socket cables, with the correct plug for our tablets. This looks like a safe bet for your in-car power requirements.

I just received mine today from China after purchasing it off of eBay two weeks ago. It is identical to the charger that came with the gTab. The only word of caution is that mine came with one of the plug prongs bent like a "greater than" sign. I used a pair of pliers to straighten it before use.
just found some iGo chargers that charge my Tab now (also works on my laptop). Picking them up at a great price for us
Should be ready for shipping out tomorrow (weather permitting)
Chargers or tips? I would like to find an Igo tip that works.

It's the full charger with a tip included that fits the GTab
Just go to radio shack and pick up either AC adapter or auto adapter with a 12V 2A output capability. Most of them come with a variety of tips so they can be used on the G tab as well as other devices.
Can someone post a link for the correct LG charger? I could only find the UK model. Thanks.
Hi guys, does anyone here know where to buy the US adapter part of the charger? I am speaking specifically of the piece that goes into the charger. The two pronged plug insert itself. Here is a link of an item on ebay that includes the adapter with the charger.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-USB-Wall...ccessories&hash=item3a742ee563#ht_3518wt_1018
So ideally I'm looking to spend less than $9 (otherwise I can just buy above item and keep the charger as a spare). I don't want to use an US adapter on top of the Hong Kong one on my tab because it becomes way to bulky and would not fit the outlet near my bed. I'd need to use this outlet as its most ideal.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
EDIT: I'm going to post this in the galaxy tab 10.1 forum as well just so it gets more hits. Its a bit dead here with respect to there.
I think you'll have an hard time getting just the pronged plug...and that's 9$ with shipping included, so maybe it is better to just order the full charger.
...but you made me curious...
Contrary to my previous GT-P1000 charger, the charger on my new 7.7 (European edition) does not feature a USB socket on top where the USB plug then goes, like the one on the Ebay link. Instead, it features an integral cord coming out of the charger (a stand-alone USB cable was also provided in the package for PC connection purposes)
Do you mean that the US version features the much more practical "charger with USB socket + USB cable" solution?
This is important to me since I figured the chargers had been changed from model to model on account of a technical imposition (the cord end from the charger, on the tab side also features a different, slightly longer plug, when compared to the GT-P1000 one)
If it is the case that the charger format is optional, I will jump and get one of the "old" ones as the previous arrangement (charger + separate cable) is way more versatile.

The US version charger is a usb charger adaptor. Also, it has the front plug portion changeable for regions if you have the fittings. I'll take pictures when im home

Recently bought the OEM Nexus Wireless charging station on clearance for 9.99!! Over the moon, right? Wrong! Comes with a UK wall plug and a shoddy chinese knockoff LG design wall plug. Long story short, I am unable to draw enough power from the outlet to charge the station? Any idea of where to buy just that one piece of accessory here in the US that goes from the square box into the wall? Or do I have to buy an entirely new charger with 1.8 amp power or more? Any suggestions for a charger? Thanks in advance :good::good:
No answer yet from anyone here on XDA? All I need to know from anyone who has used the exus wireless charger is whether you know of any aftermarket adapter that draws enough amperage (electricity) to charge the base? As my original post mentioned, I was sent the UK wall plug instead of the US. For those who has this product will know my problem which is this:
the light does not turn blue when I plug in the adapter. It is red, which means the adapter is not drawing enough power from the outlet. I need to find a US wall plug/charger that draws enough power to charge the station.
Does it not have a USB connection? You should be able to plug into any USB port or adaptor.
I get the original for the Blackberry Play and they are a design where the power blades fold into the charger and it's a square black box. They can often be found on eBay for $6
