    Mine was loose at where it plugs in in the unit. I've bought phone charger with same plug, and it charged ok. But it keeps on charging , everything gets hot and I have to unplug it. Original cord has a cylinder kind of thing in line. All replacement cords I've seen don't have it. What's the deal? What should i get?

    N/M . I've tried again, and everything works fine. I guess I've panicked. Lesson learned :)

    All things electronic really should have a 2 amp socket. Anything less is just starving the thing.
