    oh poor you sounds like you are having a nightmare at the moment
    hopefuly that will be it for you now and you will win the lottery on sat :0)

    just a quick one on the laptop power supply
    my laptop battery went just before my laptop was 12 months old
    i contacted the place i brought it from who said actualy we only guarantee battery for 6 months, i looked on there website and no where did it state this so i sent them a email saying if i did not receive a replacement battery i would be seeking a full refund for the laptop as the whole point is it was supposed to be a mobile computer a few days latter i received a phone call saying i could go into the shop and pick up my new battery, so hope you dont get fobbed off

    all the best

    Bus broke down on our car park yesterday, no help for an hour then 3 tow trucks turned up at once.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Nice story, good on you for persevering.

    But I think the op means the power pack? If so, they are still dear and I would push for an original replacement, the cheaper ones aren't as good imo.

    If my nana broke a couple of things in quick succession, she would always deliberately break something else (she'd snap a pencil), in case the third thing she broke turned out to be her leg.
