I need to buy a new adaptor cable for a Toshiba laptop. The price on the Toshiba site (Ireland and UK) is around €60/£50. Amazon's Computer Trading, which appears to have an excellent reputation, is selling what they describe as genuine Toshiba adaptor cables for around £19.

Amazon's Computer Trading, which appears to have an excellent reputation, is selling what they describe as genuine Toshiba adaptor cables for around £19. Is this 'too good to be true?' or is it likely that I could get a genuine article so much cheaper on Amazon? Any advice please?:)

Most cheap "genuine" PSU's are just that cheap, but certainly not genuine, but there are some cheaper genuine ones around you just have to be careful. One site I use is http://www.parts4nb.co.uk/ there stuff is genuine or at least what I've had off them.

>>Edit Also check ebay.ie I noticed a few S/H Toshiba psu's on offer for around 15euro plus p&p
