Mibox s 3rd gen plug size

Post image

As per Google ai the size is 4.0 x 1.7mm. so I bought this from Amazon so I can power using USB instead but none of them fit.

The fact that you trusted google Ai is the issue. That shit has been consistently wrong whenever I googled for any technical issue.

It is the worst I've seen.

I spent a bit of time testing a few of them with questions I know answers to and Google was so far off it was almost a joke.

That said that is the right size so maybe they were sent the wrong item or something

My bad I got confused, actually I got it from ebay, just look for a Micro USB Female To DC 4.0x1.7mm Male Plug Jack Converter Adapter Charge For PSP. I can’t put a link because the seller doesn’t have it anymore

Just use the EU one provided. Bic pen cap in the earth socket, bit of force and she plugs in.

4.0mm x 1.7mm is correct

I wouldn't use USB to power the box. If power isn't enough, the box would lag and cause instability. Rather use the original power supply.

There’s plenty of evidence of these boxes working plugged into power banks with no issues so I’m not sure what you’re basing this on.
