Laptop Chargers?!

[Krylock]

Good day escapists.

I am looking to purchase a new Charger for my laptop because my current one is a piece of shit. How much do these usually run for, and what store can i find a good selection at?

No, I'm not looking online, because I'm leaving to run to the store here soon to buy one.

Target?
Best buy?
Radioshack?

I'm not to sure.

Can I get some help? Instead of just looking at the thread and leaving. It's rather pointless you enter a thread, and know what its about without helping the OP. Don't enter it if you're not going to give a little help.

Yeah, I'm talking to you 6 viewers.

I'd recommend Best Buy, but I can't quite remember how much they cost.

Well, I would help but one issue...

You are not shopping online and I tend to not set foot in those stores so, I can't help you.

Those 6 people might have thought the same.

If online, I have no doubt that I could help.

(And... uh... shamelessly bumping your own thread when you are the only poster is kinda... frowned upon, shall we say.)

I'm hoping somewhere in the $20-40 range. I don't think they cost much. Unless I am mistaken.

Let me take a peak at Bestbuys website.

What type of computer are you getting the charger for?

Chill, some people come in to a thread curious what it's about (your topic is a little vague) and find they have nothing to add to the conversation.

Iirc, charagers run about $100. Your best bet is going to be either an electronics store or online.

It would help we knew the kinda laptop. However, last time I went and looked for one, it was universal and it was over 100 dollars (US) because it charged everything.

Depends. I broke my charger for a toshiba and a replacement was $160. I think for Macs its cheaper.

I got a new one for my Inspiron 1525 for $15 from Amazon. But being that it's Dell, it decided to start being selective about how it charges. Thankfully my old one works again.

But don't worry, they aren't too expensive.

Right now I'm using a $300 Dell inspiron

Cheap laptop, so a charger shoulnd't be too much.

I strongly recommend buying a replacement charger from Dell, it'll cost you more but the cheaper the equipment you buy the more likely it is to fail. It'll be somewhere around $50 - 60 for the charger, the part that plugs into the wall is like another $50 so keep the one you already have.

This guy who's computer I work on, one of his kids bought a cheap charger for his laptop a few months ago and I said something along the lines of "You'll be lucky if it doesn't blow up while you're using it." and less than a week later he called me and told me that it had in fact exploded while it was plugged in. He went and bought the right charger after that.

Lol, good call.
