Guest userof2 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Are you sure that it was a 12v output and not input? All USB devices operate at 5v, so that would be strange. If it was 12v however, then the chances are that you've broken the power regulator or something on the Blade. Pretty much impossible to repair I'd say, so it looks like you'll need to exchange it under the warranty.
Guest Lew247 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 IF it was definitely 12V output and you plugged the blade into it - say bye to it there is no way to recover from that you'll have fried the inside.
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 yes output is 12 V :( very very srange note to me : kill this ****beep****** friend tomorrow no chance i'll return the blade under warranty :D
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 yes output is 12 V :( very very srange note to me : kill this ****beep****** friend tomorrow no chance i'll return the blade under warranty :D
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 input DC 12-24 V output DC 12.0 V max : 2000 ma made in china WTF :D
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 i have called orange (by chance i have kept the orange sim and written the mobile number hehe) i'll get a new blade Tuesday suspens ... wil i get the same model (b08) or an oled or a new b10 (hope not for the b10) at last i'll have a spare sd-card and a spare battery :D
Guest grabster Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Done this as well using an ebay in car charger on my sons sf ,fried the guts out of it by using it in the lorry at work. Its 24v but funny that it never mattered with my nokia 5800 or any other phone that i have used over the years ,maybe its the charger itself but i aint prepared to risk any more phones . The only other appliance i have killed like this is a portable tv ,i went through 3 of those before i gave up. :D The lorry has a voltage dropper but the ciggy lighter output is 24v, maybe its the chinese build quality.
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 i was a little stupid too :D it was written on the charged DC Output 12 V even if it has an usb output to plug an usb cable .. very strange......)
Guest GeiZt Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 small question to this topic... well i got like this for my car: and i want to plug and charge with that: would this brake my blade too??! :D
Guest german_psycho Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I'd like to buy a car-charger for my SF, too. After reading this thread, I am a little bit scared about which one to buy. Anyone tried the Car Charger sold on Amazon UK by eMartBuy?? Or what car-charger would you recommend?
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 look at output DC if output DC isn't written on the charger don't plug your blade in mA doesn't matter can be 1000 or 2000 or 3000 mA or whatever if output DC is superior than 5V don't plug your blade in (doesn't do like me :D )
Guest ocirnes Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I'd like to buy a car-charger for my SF, too. After reading this thread, I am a little bit scared about which one to buy. I've bought this one on amazon.de (as your flag states you live in Germany). No problems so far with my OSF, and the price is unbeatable (2,99 € + 1,20 € shipment) Edited March 20, 2011 by ocirnes
Guest Mushroom_Lord Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 small question to this topic... well i got like this for my car: and i want to plug and charge with that: would this brake my blade too??! :D Im going to get the exact same thing now Ive seen it :( and no, shouldnt brake the blade: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.pro...oduct_Id=489767
