| 1421064 | 2016-05-26 22:13:00 | Any recommendations for one that will work with more recent makes/models? The one I have is a few years old and not compatible with current models (thanks Acer & HP!).... and 9 times out of 10 people drop off their laptop without the charger :( | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1421065 | 2016-05-27 04:01:00 | I bought a "Powertech Plus" 120W 18-20 VDC/5VDC (USB Output) power supply with 8 adapter plugs, from JayCar on the corner of Tristram/Wairau RD, North Shore. Can't remember what I paid for it. I got the 120W one because I was working on a Toshiba Games laptop which overheated my smaller one. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1421067 | 2016-05-29 22:06:00 | Some of those universals dont have compatible plugs for newer, slimline notebooks . They have heaps of plugs that suit older notebooks, but not some of the smaller (newer) plugs. |

| 1421068 | 2016-05-30 00:13:00 | Yep, that's the problem. There's a few on Deal Extreme that look to have smaller connectors, but can you really trust a $5-$20 unit ;) | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1421069 | 2016-05-30 00:44:00 | some universals have swapable plugs that dont have fixed polarity, enabling you to easily put the connector on with reversed polarity. You had to to check with a multimeter every time you swapped the plug. Not the best. Maybee someone makes a converter from old type to new type plugs ? or buy that cheapy unit, and cut the lead to use on a good power supply . |
