A510 Car Charger
UPDATE 6/14/12: Received replacement charger. Different body style, with a circular connector at the end mating to a micro-USB adapter. Thinking he finally got it right...
WRONG! Same thing happened, plug it into the tablet and the fuse blows. Pretty sure I know why, I believe the voltage is going to the wrong pins. Why do I think that? Because my freaking USB port doesn't work for data transfer any more, either from a memory stick or to my PC. Looks like the USB data lines are fried, but I can still use the Acer charger to charge it. So now I've got to set my new baby in for repairs, glad I kept my A500 as a backup.
Sucks being a guinea pig. I'm just going to order another wall charger, I've got a small inverter in the truck to plug it into. Should have known better, I told him to take down the Amazon listing before anyone else blows up their A510, if I get any crap from him I'll be taking it up with Amazon.
UPDATE 6/10/12: Vendor believes he sent the wrong charger, is sending another. Will update post when received.
DO NOT ORDER THIS CHARGER.
It seems to be just a regular micro-USB 5V charger used for cell phones. Plugging it in to the tablet immediately blows the fuse, at least that works the way it should. I will be contacting the vendor for a refund.
Next up from Amazon, ordered an A510 car charger. I've seen other products from this seller before, looks like this one has been custom made and molded. Under $25 w/shipping.
