    USB Wall Charger

    I have a universal USB wall charger that I would like to use with my Music Card. On the charger the output info reads: DC5.0v+/-5%. Max. 400mA, Min. 150mA. Is there any reason this charger should not be used with the M3?

    Well the back of my M3 (I'm assuming it's not unique) says 5v dc 400mA, so anything that's 5v and rated >=400mA should be fine.

    400 mA is on the brink. Although it should work, you should get a charger with at least 450mA just to be on the safe side.
    Lesson: There is no limit to the amount of mA you can have in a charger. It can me 1,000,000 mA. The Meizu only takes what it needs, not more. However, if there isn't enough mA, the charger would fry, because the Meizu is trying to suck out 400 mA while the charger can only produce 400> mA.
    If you are having trouble with your player, please visit this thread first and try the steps before you panic. Most likely you will be able to fix your player easily using the steps listed.

    Then why is Mark offering a universal USB travel charger rated at 300mA?

    i dont think teh charegr would fry as the charger simply delivers what it can. It wont be "pushed"by the player to produce more or anything....
    itsnot the player deciding how much it gets but the charger...

    The charger has no more to give, and the player is wanting to suck more out. The charger then overloads.

    For charger (model: UP0508), 800mA is most appropriately.
