Hi Andy

If you see Darren Brewer's message about the adapter for the Maxter, that should give you a good clue as to which one it is as, having read his message, it reminded me that Ian couldn't work out how to detach the plug and put the right prongs on until I came across the button that released it.

But, just to be safe, ring Maplin if you're really not sure. And go back to your sticker idea. Every time I get a device now, I put a Dymo label on it with something like N91 or Dualit or whatever the item may be. It's perfectly safe and they don't generally come off. Gets me out the poop every time! (smile.)

Good luck mate.

Jackie

Hi Jackie.

Now that's a good idea. I even have their telephone number, so I'll try it out tomorrow.

The thing is Jackie, I've got the 750 and the 300 gb drives and only one adaptor. At the moment a friend is busy unloading all the stuff off the 300 device and I'm stuck as I cannot find the correct adaptor for the 750 in my house.

I must have about 30 adaptors in the house! Would you believe, I also have about 20 Remote Control units for various things.

What a nightmare! I used to stick on a sticker to the adaptor saying something like Sony MD, Nokia phone or Torch but stopped for some reason, now I have a large shoe box filled with adaptors and don't have a clue what they are for. You are correct the ampage makes this a more serious problem as you don't really want to burn out your phone by fitting the wrong adaptor.

I'll phone Maplands in Glasgow tomorrow and they may be able to describe the adaptor that comes with the 750 for me. With a bit of luck, I'll find it plugged into a red hot telephone or radio which is burning out.

Thanks for the idea.

Very best wishes.

Andy.to

Hi Andy

As a suggestion, could you ask Maplin Electronics if they would tell you the voltage of your supply for the Maxter if you are stuck?

Hi Darren

Your right mate one button and it's on the front. I have been using the drive the other way round so I could easily plug in the power socket.

I don't know what the button is for and have never used it.

What I think I've done is lost the correct adapter for it. The one that is connected may well be less powerful than the correct one. cannot find another adaptor laying about though.

Are you able to read, or perhaps get a friend to read anything that may be written on your adaptor. This will help me identify the correct one for my drive.

I've got loads of them around the house, plugged in to various items, so it's possible that I've got mixed up.

Best wishes.

Andy.

Hi Andy

Yes I have the maxtor one touch external hard drive as well, but I'm a little confused, as you say there are two buttons on the rear of the drive. However I cannot find any on mine. The only button I know of is the one located on the front at the bottom.

If the drive is failing to start when you switch the power on, and all cables are securely in place. Then I would suspect it has become faulty.

Sorry I can't be more helpful

Darren.

Hi all.

Anyone got the Maxtor 1 Touch 750 GB External drive.

I need some assistance with mine as it no longer wants to boot. I just discovered a couple of buttons on the back of the device today, which I did not realize were there. Perhaps I've turned it off or something, anyway, I've you have one of these I'd welcome some advise from you please.

Best wishes.



Andy.
