    Well, I needed a new power cord really fast so I ordered from here http://h20141.www2.hp.com/hpparts/Search_Results.asp?mscssid=0FKGTN46NEJ29LGRNSWTNB4QMABEDSL3&SearchInc=PartNumber. Has anyone ordered from this site, it seems very legit, safe, and secure. Well I ordered yesterday afternoon and after looking up the status today it said it was still processing. I selected next day shipping, so why is it taking so long to process?! They gave me a HP order number, not a tracking number of any kind. I'm starting to get worried :(

    When buying online you should usually expect 1-2 of processing time before orders are shipped.

    next day shipping means it will arrive the day after it ships. if you ordered yesterday expect it to ship out tonight and be there tomorrow afternoon

    I check the status yesterday, it said it was going to ship out on the 8th, so I patiently waited. Today is the 9th, checked again and it said it was still "open" and still being process and the ship date is today. I'm really starting to get worried here. After searching online I found these... http://www.complaints.com/directory/2006/march/21/42.htm, and this http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=177683. If I don't receive it later today, I might call tomorrow to see why they are taking so long. Has anyone else ordered from HP parts store?

    Okay, I recieved it today. Specs are the same with the exception of the amps for input is 1.7A instead of 1.6A, thats okay right? Otherwise, great shipment from HP parts.

    ??? That's the official HP parts store, run by HP. Not some back alley ebay reject.
