Never purchase a refurbished Power Supply.

You can also get Universal Ones but theyre a bit pricey.

Ya can get universal ones for a lot cheaper than the rip off of 130. Saying that they are all rubbish in my opinion. Ya will need to buy on the net, but ya should be able to get an original for 30.

i had this problem with a dell and posted it here(http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055512770) , got the one recommended by ttm (and in my last post) and it works fine.

Just make sure to get the right one.

I know its ebay, but its not too hard to use if you can

:cool: thanks for that I was just about to make the same recomendation

btw I've seen massive problems with some of the "universal" adaptors that are on sale in the likes of PCWorld, can't say they are all bad but I have seen a stack of them go bad after a couple of months and need replacing, worst have been the 120Watt ones with a load of adaptors and a voltage change switch, used occasionally they seem to be fine but left plugged in they don't seem to last more than a few months.
