    So I've had this laptop since the day it came out in around december of 08 and my warranty is out. My power supply has stopped working and I need to get a new one. I would like to know any suggestions from anyone who may have experienced something similar. Is it ok to purchase a third party power supply? And would anyone know if this one would work?

    You can go with the original or a third party. Personally I use a Targus 180w ...........
