I needed one a few months back as the manufacturer of mine was disputing that it was a fault and not damaged. As you say they are so bloody expensive to buy and I also got one from ebay for £6, it didn't work  But it would have cost twice as much as it cost to send it back!  Just my bloody luck |

Just a wee word of caution...I own a design agency and we're doing work just now for the Electric Safety Councils christmas campaign about buying things like chargers etc, over the internet. They did a test and bought 20 differnt chargers for various devices from Ebay and other places and out of the 20, every single one of them was found to be faulty and had the potential to cause fire.
I've bought a ton of stuf off ebay and tinternet over the years but I had my eyes opened a swe bit by the work we're doing. |

My laptop charger at work gets pretty hot at times as well!
The fireman told you that? I hope he wasn't there puting out the house fire your charger caused?? Admit it, you just called a sexy fireman round to do a 'safety' check didn't you? ;p |
