Hi,
does anyone have an AC adapter for a Braille Lite 2000? Bit of a long shot, but you never know...
Thanks! :)

Wow, there's a piece of hardware I ahven't thought of in years. You still have one that works? Wow. Anyway I don't, but shouldn't you be able to figure out the voltage the machine requires and just buy an adapter? I'm sure you can buy AC adapters.

no, you can't just buy them. I tried doing that for my first gen Victor Reader
but no one had the voltage for it.

On the Blazie line of products, some of them required 12 volt chargers, and some of them 9 volts, if memory serves. It was written in Braille on the transformer.
I would be careful about going and getting any adapter, though, because I would think these are probably proprietary in some way, like their disk drives. Or maybe I'm talking out of my ass, because I don't even know if it would be possible to make something like that proprietary.
Anyway, good luck in finding one, however you do it.

You can only use the chargers set up for them. I tried using other chargers.
I will see if I have a 12-Volt charger, geared for the Braillelite. Let me go through that nightmare I call a storage unit.
Blessings!

GreenTurtle it is entirely possible to make such a charger proprietary. Volts is only one part of the power equation. You have voltage -- how much power -- and amperage -- how fast the electrons move / how strong it is, for just a couple.
Add to that if the unit itself doesn't have the limiting circuit, but the charger is supposed to ...
Oh yes, there are a ton of ways to do a charging bric / wall wart, probably enough that would put most people to sleep by the explanations.
I've got wall warts too for a lot of things, but this is why I like the new USB chargers and multichargers.
