Where Can I Get A Power Supply?

gp2x.co.uk don't sell them any more.

I'd like to know of one which works without trial and error and frying my gp2x.

They seem to have none UK plugs on them, i.e. 2 prong.

changing the subject ever so slightly...

has anyone ever seen / know where to get a power supply that can be used with a car lighter socket?

I got the cheaper black one from Argos, it works great, but I taped up the voltage setting and the tip connector with black static tape for peace of mind!

If all else fails, you could get a cheap 30W inverter, and it'd also be useful for charging cell phones, etc...

GP2X.co.uk are just out of stock, they'll eventually get more in.

You could buy it from Play Asia, and get a $2 travel plug converter, or just replace the cable coming from the PSU, it's a common cable (at least, the one I got from gp2x.net.au was like this).

I did a bit more hunting and found this - thought others may find it useful:

With the Play Asia one you can just cut the 2 pin Euro plug off and replace it with a 3 pin UK plug or just replace the fig 8 mains lead with a UK one.......
