Just got my Zaurus 6000W and now I'm wondering if I can use the AC adapter from my
old Z5500G because the japanese plug doesn't fit in European power sockets.
It's the same model number, same input/output and looks the same, too.
I guess it should work but I don't feel like taking risks if you know what I mean
Also there's a small switch in the battery compartment but my japanese is not good enough to decipher all of its label.. something about a backup battery. It's set to off. Should I turn it on when charging the Z? And leave it on later?
(sorry I can't rtfm because it's coming in a second package which is not here yet)

Hey Razzle,
i think it should work without problems. I received my 6000L a week ago and used the AC-Part which is directly connected to the 6000L with the power-cord of the SL-5500. No Problems so far.
I only have to buy a new power-cord which should be a standard and available everywhere!
Bye Bedman
OK du kannst mir per PM bescheid geben! :-)

Cool, I figured that when I saw that the cord was replacable but didn't try yet.
Any idea about the switch in the battery compartment??
-
Don't take this as gospel (i don't have this switch), but it is to prevent the internal backup battery from draining while in delivery... I think that you have to turn this switch on and leave your zaurus to charge for a few hours.

I've been using a charger from a 5000d on my 6000. It's the same model number, same output, etc.
Yes, you have to flip that switch to on.
-
When i flip that switch on the charging light stays off when I put the AC back...

Let it sit a while. If it's off the backup battery won't charge and you will lose every thing if the main battery dies.

Seems to be working now, thank you
I just realized that since I was planning to sell my old 5500, I won't be able to use its adapter anymore then.
But the power cord of the ac adapter should be replacable with any cord I think..
The adapter accepts 110-240V input so I'll just get a standard Euro power cord from an electronics store.

Why would you lose everything? I thought the 6000's used flash memory for internal storage, unlike the 5500?
I keep getting tempted to buy a 6000W, especially now someone in the office has a Dell X50v with a VGA screen which looks amazing, but I couldn't do without a builtin thumb board and of course Linux

Where can I buy a 6000w? I cannot seem to find one.
