Palm IIIc came with 12V charger

[donkka]

I bought a Palm IIIc used from a guy who bought it brand new. The charger that came in the original unopened box was a Bestec Model: BPA-201S-12 12V charger. Since it's only supposed to be a 5V charger, my Palm has since been fried. I didn't know at the time that this was the wrong charger. I contacted Palm and they said there was nothing they could do, unless I gave them $125 to fix it, even though it was their fault for selling it with the wrong charger. Has anyone else had or heard of this problem?

I'd be a bit suspicious of the guy that sold you the "unopened" box. Although it's possible, I don't think it's probable that Palm would have accidentally put the wrong charger in the box.
