|
|
Mine just blew up, and I'm shocked at how expensive they are. I could get them for like 5,000W in China... here I got one at the Yongsan Techno Mart for like 35,000W... stopped working in less than a week. Also have someone trying to sell me a genuine Toshiba adapter for 45,000W.
Is this normal? Anyone know where I can get one for a little cheaper? |

| I don't think 30-60,000 is too much to expect to pay for a power adapter......they used to be ridiculous prices. |

Oh boy... I am such a luddite (?)... but here goes. Well... it's a Toshiba. Got in front of me... it says V85 in pretty big letters- maybe that's the voltage??
50-60Hz...???
Anyone care to help a semi-retarded individual figure out some voltage? |

You should tell us what's printed on the power adapter itself.
Voltage:
Amp:
Watt: |

Just type the model of your pc into gmarket, it should come up with accessories and such for it. I got a replacement cord for my MSI Wind for 15,000 the other day.
45,000 for the genuine part is dirt cheap. I paid (the equivalent of) 120,000 in NZ for a Toshiba laptop cord a few years ago. |
