Mad Axim finally arived - no power cord

Well the saga continues. After 2 weeks my Axim arrived but alas no power cord. Phoned Dell and the lady looked into it and said that yes apparently "some" axims had been shipped without a power cord, said they would send one out. I live in emote northern Canada so I can expect another 2 week delay. Have to admit I now have one of the most expensive paper weights on the planet.

Same thing happened to me (in Canada as well). Search the forum as I talked about solutions that may help you get it charged and running provided you got the AC adapter portion and they left out the power cord running from AC adapter to wall.

Thanks very much dialdn,

searched and found your thread regarding the same thing. Looks like a fairly common thing up here in Canada hmmmmm.
I am at work but will have to search the house tonight to see if i have something, i hope so as there is no Radio Shack, Future Shop etc. around here for a thousand miles.

thanks again :)

belugamany, as you read in dialdn's thread, the same thing happened to me too. I called Dell yesterday and they told me it would take 7 business days!!! Hope yours comes sooner!

I have yet to try out my Axim as it turned out that the power cords I had from my laptops did not fit. I just got a new scanner today, so I will try that one!

Good luck!

Gigi

That happened to me as well. I went to Wal-Mart and bought an ac adaptor that had similiar specs according to the Axim specs. I had to cut the adaptor with a knife for it to fit right in my axim. This was a temp fix until the new one came from Dell.

Heart

From not sending a power cord to sending me an extra Axim lol. I received another Axim a week latter. Rushing to call my CC to see if I got a free one no luck they charged me for 2. :crooked: and to add insult to injury my wife answered the door and begged me to keep it for her. Needless to say I no longer have the Joy of ownership, ya feel me

rgtball :)
I wish rgtball, live in a really remote area, no road just air and rail nearest Walmart is 300 miles south. Checked all of my cords, have a 2 year old Dell laptop pc... diferent power cord, geeeesss checked scanners, radios, etc. Will wait a bit more and then resort to drastic measures....may have to improvise as you did...only worse As of now the axim makes a really nice coaster for my beer, you would think you could purchase a beer coaster for less that $500.00

Nomad:)
I think that Dell should send me a secound Axim to compensate for my pain and suffering:D lol
