Best Buy wanted over $100 for this!

| If there is one thing that Amazon is for besides books and big screens, it's stuff like this! My buddy told me his power adaptor for his HP notebook was busted. I told him to get on Amazon and find one, because if he went to Best Buy, he'd drop a Benjamin on it. He didn't believe me. Fast forward three days. He has to go on a road trip the next evening and calls me from Best Buy where it was over $100. He was in a panic. So I pulled out my iPhone with the Amazon app and found this for him. With Amazon Prime and overnight fulfillment by Amazon, it was less than $20. He went on his road trip and everything worked out great. Best part is that he actually paid me back the following week. |
Specs in description are a little off

| I ordered this adapter to replace the dead one that came with my girlfriend's laptop from HP. The original adapter was 18.5 volts, as this one is said to be according to this page. However, after receiving the new adapter and checking the label, it states 19 volts as the output. 0.5 volts should not be enough to damage anything so I let my girlfriend use it rather than going through the hassle of an RMA. It works fine so far (little less than 2 weeks now) but according to other reviews I'm almost due for the unit to fail. I'm hoping I got lucky and this thing survives at least another year and that I don't have any of the more dangerous results that others have had. Glad it only cost me about $20 after shipping/tax but was disappointed to see that the seller misrepresented the item's voltage output. |

| When I first recieved my AC adapter it worked for a little while and then stopped working for no reason. I sent them a message back and they asked me to send the broken one back and they would send me another. Only thing is it had to be USPS first class mail. I did anyway and they sent me another one. It was about a week later when I recieved it but at least the second one worked. |
Not worth the money

| I purchased this cord in December, and while it worked in my computer it broke within two weeks. I purchased another one of the ssame cords and it also worked, for a month then died. It's not work buying a new one every month, I'd rather spend a bit more for a cord that works for more than a month!!!! |
Not as pictured- be wary of HP adapters

HP appears to have a problem with power adapters. I don't know what models, only that mine in particular is a DV2000 bought at now defunct Circuit City. I've gone through several adapters, this brand being my fourth. The original adapter that came with the laptop lasted about a year. The first replacement only made it about three months before I had to start bending it to make a connection. The second replacement worked great for about eight months before getting a short and catching fire in my friend's living room.
I ordered this adapter because it had good reviews and I really didn't want to replace a laptop that was only two years old. As of the time of this writing, the product is sold by third parties but fulfilled by Amazon so I don't where blame lies. The adapter I received did not work so I immediately ordered a second one and had it shipped overnight. Much to my amazement, the second one worked fine but it is not the same product as the first one I received.
Neither of the adapters that I received have the same label as in the picture. The product is not UL listed. The second label as a bit more information than the first, the first having little more than "made in China" and that the device conforms to standards.
After looking at several other brands of replacement adapters I became fed up. Almost all have some horrible reviews that mention melting or otherwise catching fire. After having one catch fire on me, I am more than a bit skiddish about the issue. The safety of me and my family is worth than the price of a new laptop so I have ordered a new one, this time from Dell. It will be a long time before I trust HP with another laptop. |
