I already did that. The cord of the adapter is worn out na rin e. When villmam used a different adapter it worked

Thanks. Not sure yet. I'll keep on calling. I really wanna avoid going there only to find out that they don't have stock of the adaptor

If your laptop is common, someone may have the (universal) power adapter for your laptop model. From my experience, more often than not, it's not on stock (especially older models). I often ended up buying one through mail order. My kid's HP laptop is on its third power adapter and my 2007 Toshiba is on its second.

It's Lenovo G470. They said I need an adapter that is 20v (3.25 mah). What's a good brand of adapter?

If you want the same exact power brick, look up the model number of your power brick (PA-1650-56LC) and use that information. If you want any replacement (aka universal) power brick, just type your laptop brand and model number + "replacement AC adapter" in Google. I'd be surprised if a shop has your power adapter. Where I am, it was always "special order." Might as well order it myself.

My kid is on her third power brick. She broke the original and the first replacement because she kept bending or crimping the thin cable where it comes out of the brick. I told her if she's not more careful, that's it. She's on her own.

Anyway, you can try these. I have no experience dealing with PH shops. I can't vouch for their authenticity.

You can also buy a universal adapter, its usually a little cheaper and works just as well.

Thanks! I think I'll just buy a universal adapter. Villman had one with different "heads" but the guy said it's not compatible with mine because it's 70 watts.

Make sure the universal power adapter mentions compatibility with your exact laptop brand and model and/or the PA-1650-56LC. I mean the sales associates probably know what they're doing. But, it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

You can try sa Glorietta, 3rd floor halos katapat ng BPI branch na kahilera ng Buffet 101.

I forgot the shop name pero nag iisa lang kasi sya dun na mapapansin mo na halos parts and phone accessories ang tinda sa wing na yan. Makikita mo din sa display nila sa loob puro mga adaptors.

Twice na ako nakabili sa kanila one for Asus laptop and another one for HP...
