Hi !
My friend just sent me from Japan a C3000. Problem, I am in a 220V country, so I use a universal adaptor to charge my Zaurus.
I used the same I used for my C700: 5V out, 1A 12 VA max, quite the same than the sharp one, except it tooks a 220V input.
Problem: when I connect the adaptor, the charge led don't blink. Why ? Should I wait a moment because it is the first charge of the batery ? Or is it a problem ? The polarity is OK, and the adaptor works well for my C700.

I wasn't really clear in my previous post. In fact the led don't light up at all. Perhaps because the battery is dead ? But the Zaurus is brand new. Not enough power from the adaptor ? It worked well for the C700.

I think I will try this weekend the original adapter on a 220-110V converter. But anyone have an idea what could make a Zaurus dead like this ? Broken microdrive ?
Does it exist in Europe some company that could repair (or at least diagnose) Zaurus for not a too important fee (ie for least than the price of a new Zaurus) ?

[1]Trisoft /might/ do it for you. But I don't know what their policy is on units not supplied by them.

I just saw the page "repair" on Trisoft website, but it is german only. Time to use systran

Is there a switch for the battery cover like for the previous C series?
you must have checked this but as the led doesn't light up when the switch is open....

Yes there is a swith. Perhaps it is broken. I should check that by opening the zaurus case.

Hi everybody,
no need for systran, simply drop us a line or call us if anything
is unclear or if you need help.
We take care about every user and every Zaurus whereever
the Zaurus was purchased. But warranty repairs/exchanges are
only possible for units purchased from us.

Hurrah, my Zaurus is now working !!!
Thanks to pgas for mentionning the battery switch ! I opened the zaurus case and just tried to remove and replace the baterry switch, and reclosed all.
Now it is working. The switch surely was deplaced during transportation.
Thanks everybody !
