The tablet really needs 6.3 volts at a decent amount of current to charge these batteries. I could really use a replacement power jack. Anyone know where I can get one for a reasonable amount? It's a snap-in; I can easily install it if I can get one. I am currently recharging using an external charger I got off ebay.
Anyone who has done this (replaced the charge port on a n800) have any advice? I just bought the DC jack part, and would like to replace it myself.
