Does X5 charger work for X50v?

Has anyone tried to use an older X5 AC adapter with the X50v?

Just wondering, since I have a spare.

Thanks

If you use the X50v dongle you shouldn't have any problems. I use an AC adapter from an HP2215 myself.

From other posts yes. However, if you go to Dell's web site now under X50 accessories, you will see an Axim power adapter for around $20. I happened to have a $100 coupon, so I got myself a 160GB drive for $90, plus the power adapter for $20. The two (with the coupon) came to $12 with tax. The coupon was given to me by customer service for a past issue.

I got the extra cradle, with no power adapter when I first purchased the X50v, but having to have the Axim off to charge it while I am at work is a bit of an inconvenience. I should get the adapter in a few days. The drive is on back order, but at that price ... I can wait

the cable from the X5 works fine with the little adapter (comes with the x50) that makes it so you can plug in a round power cable into the slot on the bottom of the X50

The X5 power supply IS the X50 power supply. I just moved my plug from my X5 cradle (x5 is DOA) to my X50v cradle and kept my new power supply for charging elsewhere. I use my X5 car charger to charge the X50v in the car. All work fine.

It is the same part number even. You can find the x5 ac charger on ebay for real cheap.
