<div>Hi All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I bought my N770 while visiting the UK a few months back.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The charger (AC4-X) cable snappt at the root of the end that goes to the wall. Now I cannot charge my device :-(</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am now back home and this particular charger model isn't available. Furthermore, the local Nokia rep doesn't support the N770 because it isn't a cell phone....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know all new models come with a similar charger (with the mini plug) and so I found a charger with similar tech specs (input and output), by similar I mean the output mA is 860 instead of 890...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I charged it once with a friend's charger and it worked fine - except 2 things:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I charged it while the device was off. The battery icon showed up and after a few second begun to animate the charge. A while later I noticed the screen was off completely - no indication for the charging process. I turned the device on and it booted faster than usual and the battery animation was still showing....
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The other thing I noticed was: the charge didn't last like it used to. I might be wrong, because I left FBReader open and the Online Mode on (I usually don't have network access at work, so I leave it Offline).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it OK to use a different charger with the same specs? Am I doing something that will cause damage to the device? the battery?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please advise!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>:====================================================:.<br><br>Amichai Rotman<br><br>UIN#: 6401746<br>Registered Linux User#: 201192 [<a href="http://counter.li.org/">http://counter.li.org/
