Toshiba laptop Power Supply repair/replacement

Comhrá

My Toshiba C660 Satellite laptop's power supply unit needs replacement or repair.

It's just the part which plugs into the laptop that seems to have an intermittent fault, like one of the wires inside the rubber insulation might be fractured. Sometimes it works, then it doesn't.

Anyone know where in town I might get a used PSU or have mine repaired?
Hardly worth buying a new one as the laptop is old now.

Any advice appreciated.

But is the gadget shop on Thomas Street not an Irish business too?

I assume they pay their rates the same as everybody else!

not really,they are chinese which is not a problem but they do supply cheap and poor quality chinese imported products and offer little or no warranty.
