Gen3: alternative mains chargers?
The plug on my Gen3's mains charger disintegrated earlier - the earth pin snapped off in the socket, and the plug cover fell apart (I only gave it a gentle tug ).
Anyone have any suggestions for a cheap replacement (preferably available in the UK)? I saw this on the Maplins site; just wondering if there's any other alternatives. |

That other Maplins one at £19.99 - that's a crazy price! |

Cheers jljones and Harry - I was hoping there'd be something cheaper than what I found.

Just thought it may be of interest to mention that I purchased the charger jljones kindly pointed out.
It's a bargain - £3.99, no p&p, arrived in a couple of days and it does the job. Recommended! jljones |

Didn't notice the Free P&P on the amazon page (not usual for £3.99) so found the same thing from Play.com for the same price with free P&P.
Should pay more attention in future! ps Just noticed that quidco has given me cashback on the adaptor, so my not paying attention has made me a whole 16p better off. I can put that 16p towards - erm- something costing more than 16p :-) Last edited by Ned; 10-09-2008 at 08:17 AM. Reason: extra info |
