    Hello! My laptop's AC adapter died a few days ago and I cant find any shops here in my place that has it on stock. Service centers need to order it overseas and I have to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive. The problem is I cannot wait that long because I'm using my laptop for work too.

    Can anyone please share where I can buy one that offers expedited shipping?

    The model on the brand and model on the labe shows its a Delta APB-180HB B.

    Thanks in advance!

    You can buy a replacement for Toshiba NB which uses the same type of connector.
    But it needs to be at least 180W or more.
    Or, you can buy any brand's 180W then piggybacking the connector yourself.

    Don't go with a generic brick, go for a branded one from the likes of Delta electronics to ensure proper standards and safety measures are there.

    Thanks for the info guys. i got a msg from pau1ow and he sold me one of his spare ac adapters and its currently on its way to my place.

    I just found the ac adapter from my old msi gt628 laptop. I remembered accidentally using it before on my gt60. The brand is liteon and its only 120w. (Output is 19v/6.3a) is it okay for me to use this one for office work and gaming while waiting for the ac adapter to arrive?

    You can use it for browsing the web and office, gaming is more power intensive so i would advise not to.

    A 180W Asus brick works fine for my GT60.

    Yes a 180W brick is the same as shipped with it so 180W will be fine, a 120W is a lot less ;)

    That should be okay, as long as the spec are similar/close it will work just fine.
