    Hey guys, quick question...where would I go to pick up a compatable charger for the g1s? I broke mine pulling it out of the wall to hard and now when I plug in it just makes a beeping noise :confused: and it doesn't send any charge to the battery

    Doesn't all G1S notebooks come with a 90 Watt PS? Why the need for the 120 watt? From the reviews I've read, the G1S doesn't even break the 80 Watt mark for power consumption during load. :confused:

    because it is slightly underpowered. g2s came with 120w. that was plenty. only diff was a slightly larger screen. 90w will work just fine though it is a tad underpowered and known to break after a while. not a very common problem though i have not seen any reports of g2s adapter breaking while I have seen a few 90w breaking for the g1s.
