Power supply for modem

[chop]

EDIT: Topic moved by regardtv

I lost my power supply for my modem. The specs are 5v and 1 amp but I'm not sure about the polarity.


Does anyone know?

Thanks, but can't find a charger with those specs.

Anyone knows where I could perhaps find one, Nowire also doesn't have?

what about building one your self ...

transformer,cpl diodes,capacitor,7805...

sorry cant help when i really cant get somthing i call RS in kyalami lube up bend over and pay the big bucks ...

It is really quite easy to build a power supply unless they have some funky chip in there or something. Considering that you want it to charge the battery properly maybe it would be best to find out what kind of PS they are using.

otherwise the hard part is getting a fitting plug. the 7805 etc is real easy to do.

I dont think there is anything grand about the power supply, it is a bit high tech (switch mode), but that is only to save weight, space and heat.

Who said that they hooked their modem up with their PC power supply? - And that worked well. So yeah, either a 7805 or a wire coming out of the PC box.

What about getting a life and realising there is a technical forum for such matters?

If we don't take care of the customers, maybe they'll stop bugging us.

Thanks for your help guys, but I've found a power supply at Nowire's Menlyn branch. There is no way I'll be able to build a power supply.

And chuckl, perhaps YOU should get a life instead of throwing around insults. I realise that I put it in the wrong forum, but there is really no need for you to act like such a "chop".
