				| 
 |  
				| 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.
