Laptop power supply query

Coveredinbees!!!!

I need a new power supply for my laptop. The old one is working but the end has snapped off and is currently connected up with a piece of choc-block but I'm running out of cable to keep fixing it

It's an Acer Aspire 5930, so I did what anyone else would do and looked on Ebay where there are lots listed from less than a tenner but all of them appear to be UK shipped from chinese based companies. Are these power packs any good or are they likely to burn my house down. I looked on acers own site and they want £65.

Maplins are always good for power supplies!

I've had a oem power supply , buld quality was poor and it sort of worked for a while but just blown up

opted for a 2nd hand original manufactured one this time

The chinese ones barely last 6 months and usually kill the battery or the mainboard in the process.
