Ok, my friend (same friend as before, same laptop too) needs a new charger for her laptop. The original direct from HP is a bit out of her price range at £50 and I was wondering if there's anywhere I'm likely to be able to buy one which won't bankrupt her but at the same time won't electrocute her/blow up her laptop/set fire to her house/stop working after a couple of days. Obviously the £5 Chinese knock offs on eBay are tempting, but I'm fairly sure there's a good chance they will kill someone. So basically, I guess, is there a middle ground between the £50 rip-off original and the £5 knock-off fire hazards? Even just a place to buy an original adapter cheaply would be good. Hp part number 463955-001 if that helps anyone help me
This was related to one that sold with that model number so I think it may be compatable, however we NEED the model number of the laptop to be sure. £27 posted. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-HP-SMART-PIN-90W-Charger-AC-Adapter-19V-4-74A-/260814501585?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D270869060773%252B270869060773%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6281895607181030941 Genuine HP from a good seller (Startech).

Sorry I only just saw the PM I assumed that would be the case though, the electrical specifications and the plug look to be the same. After looking at that I improved my search and found these. Do they ring any alarm bells (aside from the low price) or do they look legit? The second one says "OEM equivalent which seems a bit odd http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-H...Accessories_PowerSupplies&hash=item4160df369b http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-LAPTOP...Accessories_PowerSupplies&hash=item256c3fae99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-O...Accessories_PowerSupplies&hash=item2eb7f1b41d
This one worked out to be the cheapest and should work. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-H...Accessories_PowerSupplies&hash=item4160df369b
