I need to know what charger this mp4 player uses and what type to get if the charger it came with stops working? Thank you.

I can describe to you the cord that came with mine. It is a white 30" cord; the end that fits into the MP4 is almost as wide as the MP4. The other end fits into your USB. I have two extra because I bought a few of these. Mine does not hold a charge for long. I believe Radio Shak sells the AC connector that fits into the USB end of this cord to charge from the electrical outlet. I used this to charge and upload- ly4444@verizon.net.

Mine came with a charger that uses a USB connector. I does not seem to hold a charge for very long. The best I can manage is about an hour of use. It has a separate connection that also allows you to program it. If you don't get that you are out of luck. I also use my apple wall connector to recharge because it the USB connection will fit there too.

If you are referring to one that plugs into a 110 v. outlet....then, yes htere is one that should be available. I have one myself, but the player itself has bit the dust...lol. I have an 8gb player now that also has both the 110 v. plug and the usb charger. You do have to order the 110 v. plug charger extra though. Hope this helps ya. You can get them through Amazon too. Just have to search for them.

Thats sounds really great. but i dont understand. I charged the player from my computer and my fathers computer and it was still the same. Do you think it would work better if I got the AC adapter instead of just charging it from my computer? I really like the player too. But when you use yours does it it get hot really fast??

I recd mine in the mail today and the charger part doesn't seem to work. It doesn't seem that the USB fits correctly into the charger and the jack doesn't fit firmly into the transmitter. Just doesn't seem like it is the right size. Is that possible? Or am I doing something wrong? It is not charging my ipod while transmitting. HELP?

I just bought 30 gb video ipod. I get about 6 hours playing music and maybe 2 hours with video.I was told thats normal. I use it work and all the usb port are disabled here. After reading these posts, looks like instead of buying a AC charger I should just replace it with another one. Still with in return policey time.

My best guess is to contact the company. They seem to be very active in gathering consumer support as they e-mailed me twice asking me to rate their product. I gave them two separate reviews, both rating the product as excellent and I am sure they will replace the charger.

There is a special charger that should have been included. It is the only type of charger that can be used with this sony tablet. A new charger can be purchased through the sony website.

This was a gift for my Mother, and she hasn't mentioned any problems with the charger. She mainly plays a lot of games that she downloads. I think she usually needs to charge it at the end of each day if she's used it a lot. Hope this helps.

Hi, I think theres something wrong whith your battery Or maybe the source from where you charge, the product manual says: [Note: Some low-power USB ports may not be able to provide enough charge power.]. I got mine for christmas too and battery works great, It gave me about 10 or more hours whith music/photo and video playback, Exelent Player!

Short answer: yes. I used to charge it and use it until battery got full drain. The player automatically stop playing, then I plug the device to the charger and after a couple of seconds I can resume plating with no problem at all.

The charger that i bought for my coby mp3 player was from a company called "uxcell" also through amazon. My charger has a blue led light. It looks like the one in the picture you are asking about. But if you can find the "uxcell" one, compare it to that because I know that works and I have had it for almost a year. I hope this helps.

I had the same exact issue. Everything else with this player has worked flawlessly for me so far. I called Icom's customer service number regarding this. The woman who answered (operator/receptionist) and the man she put me through to (tech guy) were both impatient. They spoke very quickly and sounded frustrated, like they had better things to do. Or as if they thought I was mentally challenged; or speaking in a foreign language. I thought they were a little rude. Anyway, I mentioned as quickly as possible that the USB played Mp3's perfectly fine, but when I tried playing video Mp4 clips, video would show up but no audio. I tried every audio setting imaginable, but still no luck. The tech guy looked into it and after a brief moment came back and said that the mp4 playback doesn't include/allow audio. I told him I thought that was strange and thanked him for his time. So supposedly we cannot get audio with mp4 videos through the USB on this particular player. I tried Jodi Waxman's (other poster who left comment on OP's question) vague advice and came up with nothing. I looked over the manual several times and tried all the audio settings (on the player itself as well as my receiver)... nothing. If someone that reads this had the same issue and can say they get audio with their mp4 video files, I would love to know what they did to get it to work.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

I received my package yesterday and it came with the wall charger but the wall charger appears to only support the main player. The car charger has two cables to plug into each of the video players.

PJC, My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification. I make this assumption based on my overall displeasure with the charging unit. In short.....it doesn't work. I plug my Sansa Disk into a USB port on my computer and in an hour or so, I'm at 100% recharge power. I have actually monitored the charge on my Sansa Disk using the outlet plug-in charger. I would allow the MP3 player to recharge for an hour and to my dismay, the MP3 actually lost a significent percentage of its charge while plugged into the wall outlet. Frankly, the plug-in charger is worthless, in my opinion. I'm not surprised that the quality control on the size of the USB connector is dismal. Sincerely, cmp
