Make a Zen Micro/USB Wall Charger From a Phone Charger
Use an old cell phone charger and a usb socket extention cable to make a wall charger ( this does not come boxed with the zen micro and costs £30 ). This is very easy to do.
Get a Cell Phone Charger, One That Will Charge at 5 Volts ( the Usb Voltage ) It Should Say This on the Charger. I Use One From a Sagem MyV-55. Cut Off Phone Input Socket and Expose the Wires.
Get a USB Extension Cable With a Type a Female Socket on It, Cut Off the Male Socket and Expose the Wires.
On the Phone Lead the Red Wire Is Power and the Black Is Earth ( Use a Multimetre to Double Check )
On the USB the Red and the Black Correspond, Cut the White and Green Back Out of the Way They Are Not Used
Solder the Matching Wires Together and Tape Them Seperatly, I Have Also Use Heat Shrink Tubing (put It on the Wire Before Soldering)
Plug in and Your Ready to Go, This Worked for Me No Problems and Took Only 15 Mins
