datacable question....plz help

**Damian** · 01-07-2003, 10:03 AM

i have recently purchased a samsung datacble for the A300. When i opened it i found that it had 2 cables coming out of the phone connector. 1 was black and one was red (like power connectors) and they had crocodile clips on. When i use any software to unlock the phone it tells me to check connections as if it isnt connected. Do i need to connect something to these connector and what are they for???

I have one of these cables and from what I have discovered it an external supply in from your charger

**Damian** · 07-08-2003, 08:34 AM

I have been told that too but there is no way it can connect to the charger. Is there any kind of adapter? or even some kind of battery pack to fix it on?

can u not use one of them squareish 9volt batteries? or get a battery holder / clip that has the connectors on them? they are easy to find, and can be picked up in any decent eletrical store for under £1

**Damian** · 08-08-2003, 10:08 AM

I did think of doing that but the connectors have a sticker on them saying 3.5-5.5v or something araound that mark.....i could try it i spose, can only kill the phone .....
