Question by Corey G: How can I fix my old iphone wall charger to work with the 3g iphone?
I have a “DigiCom Digital Accessories” travel charger that works great with my ipod and the old iphone (1st gen/edge/metal back iphone). I upgraded to the 3g and whenever I plug this charger in to my phone, it says that ‘this device will not work’. I would like to make it work for my 3g. I will include pictures later. On the little sticker, it says “Model:HH-16b. Input:100-240V-50/60Hz0.2A. Output:10V—0.5A”.

Let me know what you guys think I should do to it to make it compatible. I dont want to buy another travel charger or have to go underneath my bed and unplug the usb wall charger every time I go somewhere!

Sorry. The phone wont accept the old charger. Apple changed it. How about you get a couple of new ones from Amazon?

They are about 7 bucks shipped and you get two of them. You plug in the sync cable and it will start charging.
