    Hi all,

    My girlfriends HP dv9000 adapter broke at the cord where it plugs in the the laptop and she needs to buy a replacement. It is an 18.5V 3Amp adapter. She found one on ebay (claiming to be new) for like $0.99, but I'm extremely skeptical that it will work satisfactorily and may even damage the laptop.

    Do you all have any suggestions for replacing it? Purchasing a new one from HP would work, but it is definitely the most expensive options. Has anybody had any luck with ones from other sellers, from ebay, amazon, etc.?

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Are you looking for a new AC adapter, or the plug on the motherboard?


    If it's a new AC adapter, let me know...I have one I was selling for $15 shipped.

    If it's only one buck it's either a fake, something else, or an auction. :p But $15 sounds like a good price.
