[Discuss] [OT] Nokia charger



Anyone have a Nokia cell phone charger sitting in a junk drawer that
they'd be willing to bring to the next BLU meeting?

My Nokia N810 tablet (precursor to the smart phone) still gets some use
as a podcast player, but the tiny 2.0mm plug on its charger got
physically damaged. You'd think this would be an easy fix, but no one
sells the plug.

You can, of course, get the whole charger - OEM or after market - the
latter for about $5. But I figure there must be a lot of these charges
lying around that came with now decommissioned Nokia flip and candybar
phones. So why not save one from being recycled.

It seems Nokia made a bunch of different charger models, but most with
the 2.0mm barrel connector adhere to their "2-mm DC Charging
Interface"[1]. The AC-15U seems to be a common model[2].

Email me off list if you have one you are willing to part with and plan
to attend the next BLU meeting (this week). Thanks!

 -Tom
