Folks,
I had the EXACT same problem with my Axim x50v when I bought a USB data cable + car charger product on eBay that only had 450mA output current. Well, I did some research and found a GREAT product that offers 2.0A output on 5V DC input (and with overcharge protection & LED indicator) on eBay. Best part is it's only U$5.90 including shipping!!
I just received this product recently and tested it out in worst case condition: While driving with my x50v turned on and my GPS receiver CF card working, I maximized the display brightness setting then depleted the battery down to 10% charge. Once I hooked up this new car charger (no USB), it charged my x50v w/o a hitch back to 100% in 30-min and no flickering!
One thing to note is that you need to make sure you use MSN chat service with this eBay Seller (Anthony @ e2_shop) to confirm that the right 2.0A output charger is being shipped for your order. Seller is located in H.K. but they shipped the charger on Friday and it was delivered to me (in MA) the next Monday.
Here's the link - Enjoy!
