I plugged the player into in my Nokia charger last night but it didn't do anything. The adapter is 5v but only like .125a or something pitiful so it may not be enough amperage to drive the player. I have a 5v 1A charger with a different plug so I may throw the Nokia plug on and try that...

The M70+ will never charge using power from the miniusb jack. It will only charge the battery from the dc jack.

fwchiro: M70+ comes with an adaptor. Where did you get the unit from?

2 amps is needed. Actually i have cut the cable from the adaptor and connected it to a USB plug. I charge through USB using this DIY cable.

I'd just make sure that the Amps (a) isn't more than 2A on the charger.


Higher is better than lower. You will not burn your player with a 10A charger because the player only takes the amount of current needed. But if the charger is lower spec, you risk overloading the charger and burning it.

I got the player from mp4nation, but it didn't come with any plugin adapter, just the USB-DC converter which doesn't fit my player :evil: I got to watch a few movies, but now the battery is about dead and I have no way to charge :cry:

Yah, I sent a message yesterday and got a reply asking for my order number today, so hopefully the ball is rolling on that end of things, but to be honest I'd like to use this player next week for a flight and doubt they'll be able to resolve anything by that point. I think this is going to be a DIY job. Frustrating that I didn't get any AC power adapter with the player but maybe that's normal?

Sigh... till now they still give something that don't work. You know what to do then. Good luck with the support ticket.

If you are up to do some modding, i can guide you to make your own USB cable while you wait for the adaptor.

From My experience, id like to offer a few suggestions. Dont even bother recharging with the usb, and yes it will charge but not full, charges at least 50% no matter how long you charge it, but with the adapter/wall charging , thats the only way your going to get a full charge and that takes at least 2-3hours.

Been charging through USB for many cycles already. Full charge.
