From: George Styles <george_at_ripnet.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 16:30:25 +0100 I use a regulated power supply I got from Maplin (uk) set to 12v with the correct polarity with no problems. It wouldnt supprise me if the one supplied with the JB had died - mine didnt even work when it was brand new, it had a dodgy connection on the plug. Heap of s**t ! The jukebox itself , on the other hand, has worked perfectly ever since I got it g ----- Original Message ----- From: "P.G." <vivamexico55_at_prodigy.net.mx> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 3:08 PM Subject: Where to get chargers for Recorder 20, bug, and suggestion > Hi guys, > > I was amazed to find Rockbox, when I got my Recorder I thought "Man, I > wonder if this thing can be hacked...
