65watt HP Notebook AC Adapter

[flexwong]

for some reason my AC Adapter for my notebook doesn't work. i believe one of the wires inside the cable may have come loose or something because the adapter works at certain angles. is there anywhere where i can buy one for cheap? HP's website sells them but they are expensive.

online or in store is ok, preferably in store though.

thanks

You can get them fairly cheap off fleabay (about $20 delivered).

If you know somebody who has a laptop that uses a similar adapter, you might want to try it in your computer first to make sure it is the plug and not the power jack. A lot of laptops have problems with the soldering of the power jack which causes similar problems. It's a lot more difficult to repair the power jack.

thanks. and yeah, i've tried another plug already and it works perfectly fine.

Deal Extreme has a bunch of generic ones with multi-ends that are reasonably priced, if you don't mind waiting 2-4 weeks for delivery.

i will definitely take a look, thanks.

would it harm my computer/battery in any way by using a non-hp adapter?

Deal Extreme has some pretty sweet deals but I've also heard complaints about shipping.

You will destroy your laptop if the polarity is reversed or of a different voltage of the different ac adapter.

A lot of them on fleabay are HP/Compaq or Liteon. I would have no qualms buying a Liteon as some laptop manufacturers use Liteon AC adapters e.g. Asus

Bring it to the maintenance department for your school. Likely someone there will fix it for free.

Staples was selling them for roughly $39.99 like a few months ago but you can always ebay a used one for cheaper. Just my $0.02...
