Buying replacement laptop charger.

Hi, can anyone recommend a site where I can buy a genuine not generic Compaq 610 laptop AC adapter charger/power supply as I've broken mine, and can't find it in the places I normally buy parts.
Have looked on amazon, but read a lot of dodgy reviews that items that said they were genuine weren't (and broke/didn't work).
if it's not easily possible to get a genuine replacement an affordable price, any advice on getting a generic replacement?

Hi,
did a search and came up with this, know nothing about them though, says they're genuine chargers.0 -
Just get a cheap generic one (or a genuine used one - there are lots around) from eBay.
They are just a 240v - 19.5v (or whatever) AC/DC transformer. Nothing special.
Even the genuine ones don't regulate against overcharging the battery. The only real difference is that they are overpriced.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -
As long as the voltage output is right, and the amps are the same or greater than the original, any generic one will do.0

For your laptop generic laptop chargers will be a good option. They are adaptable for all the circumstances as low or high voltage.0
