Is there any reason not to buy one of these.
Essentially I've got my sisters old laptop collecting dust, I said I'd repair it and after a poke around with a multimeter basically ascertained it probably was the power adapter that was at fault with a small chance of it being the charging circuit somewhere far down the line. Then she got a laptop through work and decided not to even get it back.
Anyway, fast forward a year, she wants it back now so has said she'll pay for the power adapter to try get it working (damn, I was enjoying the extra hard drive I stole from it).
Are these universal ones any good, I figure if it doesn't work I'll flog the laptop for spares on ebay and keep the adapter for future testing instead of buying the specific adapter for a laptop which might not even work at all.
