AC Power adapter for Media Player. Can someone please look into the adapter that came with your WD media player and check the polarity of the plug into the media player.

As long as the Voltage of the adapter is 12V, and the Amps rating is at least as high as the amount specified by the component it is plugged into, you'll be ok. If you need to, for short periods, you should be ok using one that is as high as 13.2V, since electronic components are built with a tolerance of 10%, but I wouldn't do it long term.

That depends on the input voltage/amperage and polarity of your speakers. On the back there should be a label with what looks like a little circle with a line coming out of it in another circle. Where're the + and - signs? There should also be a thing that says INPUT: ___ V or mV, ___A. What numbers are by the V and A? However, my kneejerk reaction would be to say no because as soon as I plugged in the adapter I bought it started sparking and immediately stopped working.

I am not sure if it will work. I am using the adapter for a Western Digital WD500 external hard drive and it works fine.

I am looking at my PM-1 player and I do see a "DC IN 6V" port ,on the side, right next to the "PHONES" jack (port), so, yes, this PM-1 must be able to be powered by an electric outlet. My player did not come with an AC to DC adaptor but perhaps an electronics store might be the place to look for one of these.

Mine works just fine, sorry you are having trouble. You may wish to check the polarity and voltage from the power adapter. Should be about +5vdc to the center of connector.

This product did not have the correct pin size for my wd 1 tb but it is an older external hard drive and I am unsure if it would help you. I took this to an electronics repair shop and had the pin from the old one put on the new power supply and it has worked perfectly since.

I was not aware that you could use an adapter, but apparently you can. I now see that there is a little round plug for it. However, from Joe Lee's comments, I would be sure to use the correct one.

I would recommend visiting your local electronics store and asking them to show you a power adapter. something that will convert the voltage. this may be known as a voltage converter or voltage adapter. The best thing to do would be bringing the unit to the store so they can view the plug that it comes with. there are many adapters available. some are made specifically for certain types of plugs. if there is anything else, please let us know.

I usually unplug the HD. I also have one WD media player that the HD stays on and another WD media player (older one) that the power to the HD gpes off with the player. Different manufacturers have different peculiarities but the incrediSonic is one of my favorite. I have 3 different brands. WD's media players has 2 usb ports for 2 HD's at the same time

I would just go get a "universal" power. Usually under $10. All it needs to do is match the polarity and size of the plug-in as well as the voltage. Universal should do it. NOW, if that works, tell me how you get it to work.

Not that I know of..... The item you mention was not available when I purchased my WD Element. I am still veryhappy with my original purchase, but may go ahead and get the less expensive one just to have another.

I used an old 12v 500ma wall wort from some old speakers. Similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adapter-120V-12V-1A-5-5mm-2-1mm/dp/B00417WE2K Just cut the plug off, separate the wires, cut off the sheathing, and insert them into the + or -. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE POLARITY CORRECT! As I remember it may fry it if you put it in incorrectly. Use a multimeter to double check.

This one works fine. As long as the voltage is the same and the wattage is at least what it requires, it will work. Sine this version of the product is not made by WD, it was probably given a higher wattage in order to funtion with devices requiring it. Hope this helps!

The first one we bought was bad from the start and we found out by contacting WD Support but went back through Amazon to get the replacement which was quick and easy. Even left the old one in until the new one arrived (had 30 days to return the old one). Contact the seller and they should be able to advise you.

Mine came with a power brick, for what it's worth. I believe that this hub corrupted my external usb 3.0 hdd, and pretty much killed it. Don't know this for a fact but I don't use it anymore.

The AC/DC adapter that I bought with the 12 volt says: OUTPUT 9VDC 2000mA. This was the compatable pair for the DVD player. I have found both work very well.
