    Any authorized retailer should get them for you. May not be in stock, I would ring them first and ask if they can order it for you (get a quote first and ask at other places).

    Sure you need both charger and battery?

    Amazon or ebay, though likely cheaper on ebay, can be tricky/harder to get genuine Toshiba.

    Definitely Amazon is best place. Just input your make and model number with battery charger in search panel

    The battery on my 4 year old Toshiba laptop stopped fully charging about 18 months ago. The charger broken 12 months before (when 18 months old)

    I replaced the charger with a Trust universal charger at the time. Think it was E70 in 'Back to the Future on Aungier st.

    I picked up a new battery on ebay from the UK about 8-10 months ago. (Rarely actually use the laptop when mobile) Absolutely fine since then. Got it for something like £35 incl postage. Just get the exact model number from the battery itself.


    (P.S. the laptop itself has been fine, except for a cracked screen due knocked off a table)

    yea, they're OK, I know a few who have used them, how much are you saving buying from them over the mighty faultless Amazon though?

    Just as a useful check: what model is the laptop? Is this something you got secondhand? I ask only becaise it may or may not be worth the money to refurb the cable and battery. That's going to cost you between 80-120 euro to do.

    be careful about chargers on ebay. A lot of them are refurbs themselves, broken, or knockoffs. Had a customer come in one day complaining that her charger exploded (and it did. I saw it. It looked like a small bomb went off inside of it). She said she got it for like $12 or something. I showed her what we had. We were charging $69.99 and she flipped "Why are yours so much more expensive?"

    "Ours don't explode?"
