I don't know if it would work, I have never power it any other way than with ac power.

I have not tried connecting to a mini usb but the connection appears to be able to accept it

The cords it came with are the only ones that will power it. I tried hooking mine to my computer and lap top and it didn't work.

What method have you been using to charge it? Usb to pc or usb to power adapter? Also, have you tried using a different cable? I would try holding the power button down a bit longer than usual just to see if it eventually comes on. Hoping it fires back up for ya!

I would try this first: "USB A Female to Mini USB B 5 Pin Male Adapter"if that is the only adapter you need.

Yes you can but you will nned a short cable to connect your laptop to the adapter.

The adapter has a side microUSB port that you can plug in your USB charger. So the little gadget has three "ports", microUSB, HDMI, and a side microUSB. Note the side microUSB must be used to provide power, or else the adapter will not work.

The one I ordered didn't come with a wall power adapter. I just power my using the included USB cable. I believe, but haven't tried it yet, that you can use a USB wall charger to power it as well using the USB cable.

I'm not sure but I use it with the wall plug so I don't see why it wouldn't work with another adapter or by USB? Sorry I'm not much help.

It should... Notice the adapter has a place for power, but did not come with a power adapter. I have had as many as 2 USB drives, and a keyboard, and printer attached to mine successfully. I recently read an article that the power output from a pc USB port is less than you get through a USB charger that plugs in to the wall. Charging time is increased significantly. So, your problem may not be woth the device, but with power output from a computer USB port, times 7. Hope this helps.

there's two things you need to plug in - the power adapter and the usb cable. The usb cable it uses is a regular mini-usb (like the kind old blackberries used)

I believe I answered this once. The item you mention does not have a power adapter and does not work well with one. Plugging in a powere adapter seems to interrupt the output. It is strictly a portable battery powered device. Deric

Hello Kirpal, From your question it sounds like you want to use it to power a computer. The answer would then be no. This is for powering devices that only use a small amount of power. Make sure that the voltage and current requirements for any device match the output of the adapter. Also, I would not use it to charge or power any devices that are very expensive because there are protective devices in more expensive power supplies that are absent here. Hope this helps.

Micro USB for power with a wall adapter and a SHORT hdmi cable. I bought another hdmi cable so I could locate it where I wanted, may not be necessary for you though. USB wall charger connection is a bit loose, but functions.

Not the one I got, the USB adapter cord may be useable on usb outlets from local hubs or converters. I ended up giving this to someone who had smoked their charger after a power outage.

If you have to ask this question, don't buy it. You should search for a power adapter based on your laptop's make and model. This way, you're sure to get the right adapter.

Have you tried contacting the company? And why would you need a adapter? It has a USB port.

Also, make sure the power cord is properly seated into the adapter. Since the power cord is separate, it may not be pushed in all the way.

I soldered a usb wire on mine like you said but it will also work with a 5v power adapter as well it was just easier for to use the usb wire since I have alot of them just laying around!!
