    So, I need a new power unit for my g73. I've been looking around for the cheapest model for 150w(or better). I found- 150W ASUS G73JH-Rbbx05 G73JH-TZ091V power supply charger ac adapter

    Is this any good and does the site look safe? The name sounds kinda shady ;) Also I noticed that every non-asus power unit has 7.9A instead of the 7.7 or w/e it has. Any advice would be great! This is my first post btw :]

    Rbbx05 is the adapter for the best buy model. A g73 bought at best buy will have -rbbx05 or 09 on the end, irrc.

    The are actually 2 that should work, but sometimes the Black ring one is hit or miss. Try that one first, if not, then the Yellow one.

    That web site has really expensive shipping. $13 for the cheapest.
