Motorola car or wall charger for Zen Microph

We have a Zen microphoto and a zen micro, I have Motorola phones car and wall charger that have the same end that the USB cord that fits in the players have. Should these work to charge the MP3 player when not using the computer USB? When I plug one in the car it powers the player but the battery bars don't increase even after 24hrs charging. The lightning bolt shows over the battery symbol but it doesnt seem to be charging. Has anyone else been able to use these to charge their Zen. None of the strores arund here sell the proper accessories and we are going away I don't have time to wait for an online purchase to arri've.
Thanks.

Daniel,
Thank you for the reply. There is no amp info on the product ,it's packaging or hellomoto.com website but based on you response and what I'm seeing it is underpowered . I figured if they had the same tip that fit into the Zen it would work. I will order the Creative product from your website. Thanks again!
Gary

  • Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

    i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

    sebastiankf,
    That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

  • Wall charger for Xmod: 5.5V~700m

    I bought a?wall charger for my Xmod which is spec'd at 5.5V~700mA. Is this OK for the Xmod?It is marketed for the?some of the same products as one of the Creative adapters (ZEN Neeon, ZEN Micro, ZEN MicroPhoto, ZEN V, ZEN V Plus). Someone said: Official Creative Adapter - 5V / 2.4 ASomeone else said : Xmod power requirements are 5VDC at A?Tips, please.

    The Xmod manual says?the?AC adapter needs to provide 5v / A. Be it right or wrong, I use a?small, 4 port powered USB hub (normally for computers)?as an alternati've?power source to a?less?useful?AC adapter for my Xmod. I'm pretty sure it only puts out?00mAs. I'm not sure about that but I compared it to similar ones at a RS when I bought a more powerful (500mA) one with 7 ports. It works perfectly fine as far as I can tell; no difference between using that and powering it off the very same USB hub connected to the computer or the newer, more powerful one. Neither is amp but as far as I know, as long as you don't go over the amperage there is no need to worry about damaging it. This is a way to save some money (around $0 or so) on an AC adapter plus power up to 3 other USB powered devices at the same time (and recharge some too), plus can come in handy as a 4 port hub on a laptop. Something to think about. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the above.

  • Where can I buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?

    Does anyone know where I can buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?  I am giving this iPod to my father because I want to buy myself a fifth generation iPod Touch for my birthday.  Could I just get an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 or 4S wall charger and use that?  I used my brother's iPhone 3GS wall charger, when I was visiting him out of state, and it worked just fine. 

    Any wall charger with a USB port will work. You can go to Target or BestBuy and other places too. An iPhone charger is fine.

  • Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    I searched for docs and specs but can't seem to come with anything. Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    Well, obviously you have NO faith in me or you wouldn't ask.
    Go to the Apple Store online. Search for laptop power products and look for Apple's replacement AC adaptors. One is the 60 watt model for MacBooks. The other is the 85 watt adaptor - now read this very carefully because it's in smaller, lighter print - which says for 15" and 17" MacBook Pros. Will you take Apple's word?

  • USB wall charging for ipod

    Apple wall charger is too much costly so if u have an existing USB wall charger for ur camera or ur phone, use it to charge ur ipod.
    Make sure that the output ampere rating is min 1A.
    But if u have to buy one buy other makes like Phillips only for $7.
    I am using my Kodak camera charger with the OEM usb dock connector......no problrm at all.
    Save & donate for charity.

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Problems with support for zen microph

    first, let me say i think the zen microphoto is great (my first mp3 player).
    however i have tried, through this forum, the help lines and local duistributors to get to the bottom of the charging issue and noone can give a definiti've answer! i would have thought the question "can a zen microphoto be charged with any uni'versal USB wall cherger" is a simple one, but noone knows the answer!!!
    so you ask all the stores that sell microphotos (by phoning approx 70 different stores from six different franchises), and they sell you four different kinds of uni'versal wall chargers, but none of them actually charge the device, yet when you return them they say they do work, but if they dont we dont know why. so you ask them how to get to the bottom of it and they say we dont actually know how to charge this product so call the help line.
    so you call the help line, and the only answer you get is "we dont recommend anything other than the creative charger, and here are the distributors details", but they are incapable of answering the initial simple question.
    so you call the distributors, who dont actually know what part to look for, and they say it doesnt matter anyway becasue we dont sell to the public and you should go to the stores that sell the zen microphoto!
    so you ring the help line again, and they give you a different phone number to ring. so you ring it and they say yes we have the uni'versal power adaptor, but the only way to get them is to send a checque then we dispatch the goods! since when did economies and good sales companies revolve around sending cheques!!! not to mention if you did your still not entirely sure of if you get the right thing as they have no clue as to why there may be an issue.
    and then you look for someone from creative to give some feedback to and theres no way of doing that either! so now i have an expensi've paperweight for my 3 week holiday next week as i cannot get a check of to the other side of the country (im in perth, western australia) and get the adaptor returned (via mail by the way, thats the only way we do it) before i leave. and surprise surprise i am not taking a computer with me on a 3 week motorcycling tour of the country.
    Wake up creative, support your products properly, inform your customers of the restrictions on how to charge your devices without a computer, and the difficultis in sourcing said charging equipment, becaues it doesnt matter how good your mp3 players are if they cant be recharged easily. is anybody from creative listening?

    "if i HAVE to have a wall charger that works"?
    no i was thinking id get one that didnt work so it could sit in a corner doing nothingwith the unchargeable zen!
    the point of the story is that i, like may others, do not travel with a computer so i need a charger. I do not mind buying a creative one, however they are very difficult to get (especially when the help line people dont know what to get).
    conversely, it is very easy to get a "uni'versal" one from anywhere. so i am going on a motorcycle trek and the four electronic devices i am taking (which all charge off USB) all need there own chargers - surely any person, biased or not, can see that in this day and age this shouldnt be needed?
    i wont be at all suprised when i get a creative one that iot won charge anything else...
    the other point is - support people should be able to say if uni'versal chargers will work or not and let me worry about the warranty. however the fact is they do not know the answer - as mentioned i have tried four different ones (2 of which are the same specs as the battery) and they do not work - why cant anyone tell me why?
    . when he said "that works" I am 99% certain he implied "that works with your player" and not that you would want one that didn't work at all.
    2 - 4.
    Because every company makes power supplies that work with other stuff than their product.
    no, it's a sad state of afairs, but the general flow in the electronics business is to make PSU's that matches your own power specs only, if they just happen to coincide with other products it's great, but not one company goes "we need to make sure people can charge their iPod and Zen players with the PSU for this discman"

  • Generic Charger for Zen Micro Ph

    Has anyone ever used a generic power charger for their Zen MicroPhoto Just rec'd one and
    wanted to make sure it was ok to use. Thanks.

    I've used both a Motorola RAZR v3 charger, and that for a Typhoon HTC (both mobile phones).
    Make sure you use at least the ..0 firmware, and you might need to lock the player before connecting (although I haven't needed to).
