 |
|
Hm, Does anyone know where I can get a real cheap laptop charger? I have a toshiba M115 and my 2nd charger just fucked up last night, 1st one got stolen by some fools 
Radioshack is selling for 90$, Toshibadirect.com sells for 70$ and I can't really afford that right now..

you might want to make sure that it's your charger, not the socket in your computer that's playing up. get a multi-meter and check the contacts of your computer, and of the charger. after changing the plug on my charger, i found out that it was my computer that was playing up. so now i have a tail hanging out of my laptop.
i had to wiggle my charger and have it in an aquard position for it to charge, so you might want to have a look if it means saving yourself $50-$90.

I'm positive it's the charger (the plug fell off  )

then just replace the plug? it costs about $1 to buy the connection for your charger. i did that to mine even though it didn't need it. $90 or $1... xD then again, if you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with making one yourself because you'll probably short-out something.

I already tried to fix it, I got it to work, but the plug keeps moving and stops touching ground so it doesn't work.
This is the part that broke
Do you think they sell spares? Everything else is working fine, I just need plug #3.

i can't really see that well, but if it's your standard laptop plug then you can pick it up from an electrical store. just make sure that the front of the plug is the exact same size, and all the contacts are in the same spots. i got a generic one from Dick Smiths and it works fine...except when the bastard tries to unscrew itself.

The tips can be found seperately on iGo.com and other retail places. Here is a link for just the adapter (#3) at iGo.com, it's only $10. Got it by googling "Toshiba m115 site:igo.com" since the in-site model finder was annoying as hell.
If that's not what you need, check around iGo.com. They sell all the parts they make there. Hope it helps, good luck.

Omg, Why didn't I think of that...... Fuck.
Smart man you are (if you're a man?).
With the money I'm saving I'm buying me some RAM! =D
