My old Toshiba won't turn on, and I'm sure it's due to a lack of power from the AC adapter, so I need a replacement. Anyone know a decent site that has a good range/knowledge?</p> I'm a bit worried I might buy the wrong one and not be able to get refunded on it</p> Ta</p>
Maplin do a universal one You could try there - otherwise if you know the model you want to replace dabs or misco are good reliable online sites that will refund if you order the wrong one without problems
RE: Maplin do a universal one Ta, I'll look into those.</p> I do know the model replaacement number, but problem is, I've found the model number but it says it's compatable with a whole range of Toshiba's but mine wasn't mentioned, then I found my laptop, but had a different replacement number. Pretty confusing.</p> But cheers, I'll try those sites</p>
I got a replacement charger from www.laptop-chargers.co.uk a while ago. Don't think it was cheap but they have a big range and it arrived quickly!
e-bay just enter the part number for your charger into e-bay and the chargers that are compatable with your laptop will come up, just got 1 myself for my toshiba 18.00 with delievery.
don't buy a universal one, they don't last 5 minutes. Amazon sell cheap proper ones, and laptop shop.co.uk
On the subject Would a UK power lead, that then plugs into the laptop adapter, work ok with a US laptop?
Probably Just check that the input voltage range is up to 230 V and not just 110V Most laptops chargers are dual voltgage but I can imagine the Americans forgetting the rest of the world exists and producing ones that only work on 110V
I checked the range on the charger and it does go up to 230v You are assuming that American ones aren't all manufactured in the far east like ours!
