MP3

I have just resurrected my MP3 player. The battery failed a few months ago (yes I failed to get a new one when I was in Singapore) and I have finally replaced it.

I had been using it with the bung battery via the battery charger. Unfortunately the poor little charger couldn’t cope with trying to charge the stuffed battery and playing music and it also failed.

To get the OEM (original equipment manufactures) spare battery was about $100 and the charger was similar. After returning home from Singapore I found a store in Singapore that would sell them for S$50 each but that wasn’t much help. I tried the after market market. I phoned a few local battery shops. They wanted between $50 and $80 each. – outrageous. I ended up getting an appropriately rated power supply for about $25 from a local electronics shop and got the battery on line for $35 including delivery - bargain.

Anyhow it all works nicely and I have mobile music once more. Yay
