No, it wouldn't. In fact, it leaves you a 100ma margin of error. You could have a 3A adapter and it would be fine, it is just how many amps you can pull from the adapter without burning out the device. If the device takes 500ma, you can run it with a million amp transformer (ha!) or a 700ma transformer, but not a 400ma or a 100ma. -Paul -----Original Message----- From: glitch@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:glitch@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 4/2/2002 12:39 PM To: pen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: Re: [pen] actual techish question > i don't know much about chargers, but i know a bit more about > transformers for a transformer, you want as close to but not under > if you plug something in that wants 500ma, but you only got 400ma, it > still tries to pull it, and ends up either tryin to pull it and burnin > up the transformer, or not gettin enough to the system, and havin a > brownout effect > But if I had like 600ma it probably wouldn't rain fire from the skies then? -- --dan
