VCI-100- AC Adapter
Posted on: 29.10.2008 by Jose Rodriguez
Hello everyone, Just got my VCI-100. Wanted to know, is it supposed to come with the AC adapter? Do you buy it seperately, if so where?
Thanks so much

Have you got any specs saying that Dells can deliver less power on the USB bus than others?

IMO you've got it the wrong way round.

If you have your vci powered via the usb cable, it will not be effected by the power at club no matter what, because of the laptops battery.

If you have your vci powered via a power supply, you can get in trouble if the club has weak or "bad" power. I have tried this with my soundcard cutting out because of "holes" in the power.

So now I always supply as much as possible via the usb.

i also got my VCI 100 without power supply and also freaked out at first, but then i found out that it is normal, because the power supply is optional.

I have had my VCI for a long time now and I dont have a power supply, neither have I ever needed it. The only reason I can see for using a power supply is if you have hooked a lot af stuff up to the USB bus on your laptop. And by a lot I mean A LOT.

They dont come with the adapter it is optional. Go to your local Radio Shack or Frys. They will have several avaiable. But you have to make sure its DC 9V 500mA, but to have to check the adapter, the center is has to be + and outer is -

Thank you, I just got the Japan Black Version and I didn't get one, so I wanted to see if the guy jipped me. It was from Killer-Kaz, did anyone else buy from him who can tell me? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

any electronics store will have one of these....but in the meantime you can just run it of a powered USB port.
