Laptop 12volt power supply

[jon]

Just received the 12v power supply ordered from the following link, at £10.55 all in,I have to say that it works perfectly and is excellent value. Delivery from Hong Kong took 9 days.

Well I will buy one - try it out, as just spent 90usd on an inverter.

Thanks for the tip. Have just ordered.

A couple of quid more, but not so far to take it back if any problems.

Well done, a better buy has the Dell plug as well otherwise looks like the same unit but cheaper and UK based.

Sadly, I have had 2 of style referenced in this thread. Both worked fine initially but failed after a couple of hours (laptop only draws about 35W). Am accumulating numerous 'tips' I will never use!

Interestingly, although externally identical, the PCBs/heatsinks within were very different quality, although the circuitry looked very similar. In both cases it was the same transistor on the input side which had failed and one day if I'm bored I might attempt repair.

Currently using one (ebay) which looks more like a regular laptop rectangular PSU, but haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability. If that one fails then I will permanently stick with the NETTO inverter and mains PSU /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

You could try this lot.....

not as cheap, but they provided me with a Trust 12v adapter for my Toshiba Qosmio..... couldnt find the connector to a Qosmio anywhere else!

Hooked up to 12v on the boat for 12 days non stop in December without problems.
