SimpleShare Owners, please help!

I loaned my simpleshare to someone and they lost my power supply. I really need to know the polarity of the thing. If you have one of these please check the polarity of the tip.

Thanks!

I don't have one of these units, so I can't tell you for sure, but I can make an educated guess.

With only a few rare exceptions that I've seen, DC power adapters generally have the center conductor (or the tip) as positive, and the outer exposed conductor as the ground/negative. This is done so that the live power contact (the positive) is as minimally exposed as possible to avoid short circuits.

To avoid damage to your unit, I would wait until you get some more confirmation before you configure and plug in a generic/replacement power adapter.

Thanks. At least if I don't get any reply I have better than 50/50 odds of getting it right. Still hoping for a confirmed answer though.
