Dear group,
I'm posting here because I'm hoping you guys of anyone can solve my problem. My component supplier can't, Nokia can't (or won't) and without it, I'm missing the functionality of my phone.
I have a Nokia 6500 Classic mobile/cellular phone. It has a mini USB connector to plug in both the charger or accessories such as a stereo headset. The supplied Nokia headset works fine, but is simply not a very good design.
I tried eBay for several different third party connectors and have now tried four, including eventually Nokia's own AD-55 mini USB adapter and none of them work. When you plug headphones into them, they all say "Connected device takes too much power - please disconnect".
I would be willing to pay someone to reverse engineer an existing set of compatible Nokia official headphones and wire up a working 3.5mm stereo to mini USB adapter. I can also supply one of the third party connectors which do not work so that you could further diagnose the error with these adapters.
I am in the UK and can pay by PayPal. I also have some documentation from Nokia on how compatible headsets should be wired, but it's not clear enough for a non-expert such as myself to understand. I am desperate for help - without it, I can't listen to music :(
My email is schnide followed by the company name BTinternet and then the shortened version of the word "company", all with dots in between.
Anyone?
