Very basic question

    I have a Packard Bell igo laptop that I use purely for the internet and word programme. Knowing nothing else about computers, I began to panic slightly when the adapter started to die on me. Now it's pretty much about to give up. I need to order a replacement - so first off any tips on shops in Dublin that sell PB adapters would be much appreciated.

    The very, very basic question I have however is how do I find out what model of laptop I have?!! It says Packard Bell igo on it, but there seems to be different models when I check out online stores. Don't particularly want to go rooting about in the parent's attic for the original accompanying info, so any tips would be appreciated?!!

    I warned you it was basic...

    What does it say on the base?

    More information - from the base (Thanks for that!)

    It advises that power supply model ADP64 should be used.

    Thanks KatieK - got the p/n no from the base too. Have identified it as iGo 6204. All I got to do now is find a replacement adapter!

    Just a hint, Write down all the details from the label on the base somewhere safe.
    The labels underneath tend to wear on laptops and can't be read over time.
