The ASUS wall adapter that came with my Nexus 7 is dead, I can still charge the N7 via USB connected to a PC but not via the wall adapter. I contacted ASUS for a replacement and they say it is not covered under warranty, I can buy a new one for $9.99. I bought the N7 at Staples and they will just replace the N7, cable, and wall adapter, basically return the entire package for a new one. However, Staples doesn't have any more in stock and doesn't know when they will be available. I also don't really want to replace the tablet itself.
Anyone know of a good replacement wall adapter? If the stock ASUS is so weak that it dies in a week, I don't really want to throw good money at another one and would rather get a better one. Also ASUS says three week delay in getting one which is also not really good for me.
Thanks all for your help!
PS, I called google, had I purchased from them they would have replaced it free.

That's rollox, of course it's covered but your first point of contact has to be Staples, your contract is with them not Asus or Google.

Thanks for trying to help, my first contact was Staples, they offered to exchange the entire N7 (wall adapter, cable, tablet) but are out of stock and can only say they will be available in two - three weeks. Staples suggested I contact ASUS as ASUS carries the warranty for the device when outside the exchange window for Staples or the 14 day window from Google.
I contacted ASUS and they won't replace the wall adapter under warranty, they offer to sell me one but also say it will be a long time (weeks) before being shipped.
I think its crap ASUS won't back the wall adapter and replace it free of charge under warranty!
So, I ask again, anyone know of a good wall adapter replacement?
Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Ah, sorry Grizzly fan, come live in the UK m8
As for chargers, avoid any of the Griffin ones even though they make some good adaptors, personal experience and posts here say the N7 doesn't even recognise you've got one plugged in.
Many aftermarket charger/cable combos don't play well with the N7. I ordered this one that's supposedly made for the N7, hasn't arrived yet but possibly today. Might be worth a shot.

Well as soon as I woke up today I went online to by some streak accessories, but while on the site I could only find the car kit. So I started a chat and they told me that the accessories were only available if you purchased a Streak at the same time. That was bs so I told the girl I bought mine from Dell.Uk ( Ebay ) and then she set me up with a purchase window. $76 later though I am feeling some buyer's remorse. I'm trying to rationalize by telling myself I will keep this phone until Froyo at least and that giving away my iPhone4 was worth it all. <sigh> So far it has been good I guess.......

Thats funny, I did the same thing!!! I had to give my wife the iPhone 4 so I could get the Streak. I pre-ordered mine as soon as I woke up!!! I was a little upset that I had to spend an additional $100 to get the home and car docks, you would think they could throw one of them in for the $300 price tag... Oh well, I cant wait until tuesday! Hopefully it will be worth every penny of the $450 I paid

Aha good thinking now every time she calls you the phone will lose signal and cut out and you won't have to talk to her...........very clever
if yours is a uk streak you can download 2.1 now? releasted today in the uk... check the other thread for the link!
I did not purchase a Streak yesterday but did indeed purchase the car docking kit and the home docking stations. Considering from the home docking station you will have hdmi out, it is well worth it
But yes a complete ripoff for just a piece of plastic. The car docking kit was a decent price

I still to this day do not know which version of the phone I have. I know it is a US version unlocked, but beta or what I do not know. Anyway, I have updated to 2.1 and I had a few problems. The best one is now my usb cable will not work....so....my streak is dead waiting for a charge on the dock that should arrive IN 5 DAYS!

The home AV dock is a quality piece of kit, way better build quality than the ones I've bought from SE & HTC in the past. Don't knock it til you've seen one! Having said that the price is still shocking
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I've had the home dock for about a week now and I am very happy with it. It is a quality piece of equipment. I never have to fumble getting it in there like with the regular charger. Slides right in every time! Sits perfect height next to my monitor. I love it and have almost entirely forgotten that I paid over $70 for it.
With the PDMI connector, I find it hard to connect the USB cable. I have read the reason for the PDMI, and perhaps the hard fit is to help stabalize multiple sized devices on one port.
I read that the Slacker G2 radio uses a similar/same connector and has a dock of sorts(mini usb charging and line-out) for around $30. No HDMI, but for charging on my desk, it would be nice.
Anyone know whether it will be compatible?

It's pricey, yes. But it's solid, looks very nice, it's not as annoying as plugging the cable every time, and it does not require powered-on PC to charge, or replugging to wall socket.

Anyone know if there's one for sale?
I've looked on various sites and the cheapest i found was £20, which i'm NOT paying for a USB cable
The cable that came with my phone broke VERY easily and now i'm left with a dead streak and no way to charge it!
The fact that Dell is charging £25 for a cable is just disgusting
Cheers guys.
Not yet, but some day when other manufacturers see sense and use pdmi connectors.

Can't you just return it under warranty?
Isn't the warranty only 30 days?
Yea, I'm dying to get another usb cable or two so I don't have to carry mine around everywhere I go... I was hoping, since they're selling the streak at best buy, soon I'll be able to get one there...???

As the OP is in the UK (or at least quoted prices in Sterling), they would be covered under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 for at least 12 months (and possibly as long as 6 years, given the cost of the cable).
It doesn't help the data connectivity but, you could get a desktop battery charger from eBay, I've just seen one there for £3.99 I just searched eBay for "Dell Streak Battery" and it came up in the results.
HTH.

The entire page itself...
All of the items could be found on the net in various locations, and for varied prices, but never saw a Dell/US page for it. One guy on ebay is selling all of this stuff out of his online store for $30 - $40 more expensive than Dell. For months I was looking for a second charging cable and $40-ish was too spensive for me. Now that Dell finally has this page up, $19.99 is not too bad a price.

Supply and demand my brothers, I suppose there hasn't been enough streak activity out there as yet to warrant the entrepreneurs in China to make a 10 dollar cable and then a 5 dollar one and then a.... well you get the point. Dell is enjoying this fan fare right now since no other device uses this PDMI connection, well that I know of at least. I bought the $30 set with the extra plug since the usb only works with computers or Dells charger. what a rip off.
Mobilefun were quite bad too!
When official Dell website were selling the car kit for £35, they had it for £61.99!!!
They have updated now to sell it for £39.95 - supposedly saving 36% - Hah!
(Although I am happy with the Dash Genie I bought from them, although it should not be as much as £17.50)
I still don't get why we've not seen the cheaper accessories appear yet for the streak. I had to buy USB N adapter from eBay, not bad for £25.. but I've noticed on my original one that I've had since June not looking so great at the bit where the cable joins the connector. Mind you in all fairness I do charge it quite a lot as I'm always doing something on the phone.

It's turned so its in the way of the mini-jack and the mini usb is too long so there's a gap between the nexus and the plastic on the cable.
could someone point me to the right cable? preferably from aliexpress.com or amazon.co.uk as they will ship to Denmark.

I know that sometimes on the US site of amazon it will show up the same on the .co.uk one. So I'll give you the link and see if it works. This is the OTG cable I use with no issues.
Edit: As I just read in the customer comments there. There appears to be some issues depending on the seller. I bought it from seller "Crazy-Store(ship from Hongkong)" (no affiliation to the seller other than being a customer).
Note: It did take about 2-3 weeks for it to arrive to me here in New York, USA.

is there a way i can be sure i won't the one with the long connector?

Hard to say given the circumstances. If you check out the comments that I mentioned in my previous post. I guess I got lucky. I'm sure there's someone on here that can or will eventually give a more definitive answer.
Of course, assuming the sellers are actually selling the correct product on Amazon, then I'd say you are going to get the correct cable. And again that's a pretty big assumption after what other people said on Amazon.
according to the comments on the amazon link a seller on ebay named itrimming sould have the right cable so i've made a bid.
Now i just have to wait +9 hours to know if i got it.
hate ebay when i just want to buy something

Blackwells look like they have good stock of Nook stuff. Good call, they are also selling the Nook HD+ and must be one of the last places in the UK who are still selling the Simple Touch for 30 quid. I got one and rooted it, perfect grey scale reader, (or in my case flight computer).

Chargers now only £5, got myself a third for work.
I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
