    I did the XPS GPU swap on my E1705, and I need the beefier power adapter.

    Problem is I'm not sure what to get.


    Dell wants $100 for this stuff, E-bay wants like $25.

    Buut... thing is from Hong Kong. :/

    Is that right?

    What do you guys think?

    Oh, there is a real XPS Gen 2 power thingy on there. Will that work?

    I've had bad experiences with trying to buy things on Craigslist.

    Can anyone confirm/deny if this will even work? Like that it won't harm my laptop?
