    The charger for my Dell Inspiron laptop has stopped working. Battery is fine. Any suggestions to best place to buy a new one?
    Had a look around shops PC World had some 'universal' type chargers. Pretty expensive and maybe would not work.

    Just got a replacement charger for a Inspiron a couple of weeks ago from this website http://www.syncron.ie/aboutus.asp
    next day delivery and cheap at approx 15 euro incl postage. Charges the battery perfectly.... the only difference between this and a genuine Dell one is that if you use your laptop while plugged in with this one there is a slight lag on the cursor movement. Done a bit of research on this and apparently there is a microchip built into the genuine Dell one that communicates with the laptop to prove its a genuine Dell product, this is the only setback of using a universal one but its a small price to pay!

    Whatever you do, do not use the irish website laptopchargers.ie. I had a horrendous experience with them (Sent me a broken charger, I returned it and after hounding them for several weeks I never received a refund). Try ebay for a second hand charger maybe?

    They have terrible fake chargers...avoid at all cost. Just buy a genuine dell one in my opinion and you will save yourself a lot of hassle. I got mine off ebay for just under 30 euro I think.

    If you have any friends who work in hotels you should ask them, you would be surprised how many people leave the Laptop chargers and never claim and the charger after a while usually end up in the bin, so you might save some money there...

    Get an original from adverts.ie for €30. Atfter-markets are sh1te, simple as that. They will work, but unreliable as hell and poorly made.
