and their power supplys!!!

The power supply for my laptop is fucking broken! The really
annoying thing is that i am not sure i can get a new one
because, Dell computers keep changing all of their shit
around so you can't get things for old systems.

Grrrrr!!! Anybody have any ideas???

Dell make the bit that you actually connect to your laptop
some strange shape - so you'll have to use theirs.

my powersupply also got broken. I then had a look how much
it would cost to replace - all powersupplies cost something
like 50 to 60 euros, except for mine. only mine costs a 100
euros.

well.. fuck THAT.

a technician friend of mine repaired my existing powersupply
with a glue gun.
