    Does anyone know of a good laptop battery charger for an Asus W3j? Mine got messed up and I need a new one. Unfortunately the Asus store is out of stock on the W3j ones.

    Check here for power bricks at BTOTech. You'll need to check whether the W3j used the 65w or 90w model, or just get the 90w since it's the same price and back-compatible with the lower watt models.

    I believe the W3J uses the 90 watt one.
    The Asus estore has them in stock, but they're charging $70 for a 90watt power adapter. Excaliberpc also has them for $49 here.
    Gentech has them for $59 here

    In general:

    65W power bricks = laptops with integrated graphics.
    90W power bricks = laptops with discrete graphics.

    In some cases, there are some really high-end gamer laptop units which have 120W ones (haven't seen any ASUS like that, though).

    W3J has an ATI X1600 -> 90W.

    There are alternative units which you can get like the Kensington 120W universal power adapter:
