Try not to post more than once in a row.

Anyway, does the AC charger have a USB plug? If so, plug the Zune's cable into that.

I have a mobiblu charger for my 1500i (Cube), which has a USB port. It charges the Zune, but the Zune does not cycle through the charging animation. As stated in the portable zune charger thread, there needs to be a resistor connecting the V+ and the USB+ in order for the Zune to recognize the charger as authorized. The other thread says that a 15K ohm resistor is needed, but I havent been able to get it to work with that size.

Ohhh, to see if the zune is charging, unplug the charger, look at the battery icon, if it shows a lightning bolt, your Zune is charging.

As logiasin says thats the one i have and yes do not show the charging animation at all, but if you say that work on the zune then i dont have to buy the zune charger?

You can try testing it. Plug your zune in a couple hours, while keeping track of where the charge level was when you started, and where it was when you stopped. If its more charged, then it works.

ok i try it and it works the ac charger works but i have a problem well is not a problem, is more like an inconvenient, the charge is very slow, take like forever to show a increase en the charging bar, is because is not the orignal charger?

logiasin · 07-04-2008, 08:01 PM

Most likely. Besides modding the charger or buying an authorized charger, there isnt much you can do, as far as i know.
