Any recommendations for a better (possibly slimmer) AC Adapter?

Any adaptor that matches the specs will work, although I found the one it comes with very convenient.

A power adapter is only required on the unit you plug into your router/switch. The other ones get their power from the DirecTV receiver they are plugged into via coax. The ac adapter is not overly bulky but you should be able to match input/output voltages and use a compatible one you buy elsewhere but like I said, the included one is small enough and you'd be hard pressed to find anything smaller. I'm not home at the moment otherwise I'd list the voltage. If you are using the DECA to provide network connectivity to a device other than a DirecTV receiver then each adapter will need power since it won't be plugged into the receiver via coax.

I didn't have any issues with the size of the AC adapter so it worked fine for me. I can see how it might be a bit cumbersome though, if this needed to be installed in a smaller area. Unfortunately, I do not have any recommendations on a different adapter, but in theory, a different one might be able to be used at your own risk. For reference, the one that came with mine says this for the output: 12 V 1.5 A 18 W

Thanks for the feedback. I've found that I can use other USB cables on other PC's even if they don't have the Creative Centrale software installed, so that's the good news. The Ac adaptors with the same kind of USB connector have not worked. So looks like I need to buy the zen Ac adaptor. It should at least allow me to listen and charge at the same time <grin>

Did you email the seller? I search Amazon and found a few Adapters made for your PC.

I don't know but Radio shack like multiple output adapter could provide the solution. Polarity and and adapter size matching being your primary concern.

I am not certain which type of adapter you are referring to but I would check with a local Radio Shack. They are my go to electronics store. Good luck>

Get the mushkin adapter. It keeps the connectors pretty close to 3.5 correct

I'm not sure what kind of adapter you're looking for but you should take a look at this site for a large assortment of cables and devices that might have what you need. http://www.monoprice.com/

What kind of adapter? If you are asking about ac, take it to WallMart, Best Buyor one of those and have them fit one to it. Each unit has a different size

No there is no ac adapter. It does not require power. The switches on the front are mechanical, not electrical.

I would really recommend the AC Adapter. You don't have to buy one that is listed for it. I ended up using my baby swing adapter... it fit and was the right voltage.

Yes > I went to Radio Shack and got an AC adapter (cost more then the CD player)

Any adapter with the same output should work fine.I have mine running for almost one year so far with no issues.

I'm presuming any 12dc 1 amp adapter would work. Just make sure of the polarity. Go to a local electronics store with the old adapter and say you need a new one of these. They should be able to match it up. Does it work with the DC adapter for the accessory plug? Make sure it's not the monitor that's bad

I think you want something different. If I understand the question, you are looking for an adaptor. I have that problem as well in my older house. I also have a lot of adaptors in my outlets.

you can purchase an optional AC-DC adapter.it should have an output of three volts with the center negative, and not less than 100mA

No ac adaptor required but the USB connector is very short. . Matter of inches. ... For the money you will nota better product though. .. Best buy and simular stores want 25 and up fora comparable unit.

Computer operates on batteries which last a long time (~2 years for my first batteries). I don't see any site for an ac adapter to be attached.
