Avoid damage to your laptop
Tuesday 17th August at 01:25 pm by Sam FrancisWhether you are buying an additional adapter or a replacement for your laptop, make sure it’s the right one and not a cheap and cheerful badged version. A customer called in last week stating that their laptop was under warranty and before they sent it back for assessment, they wanted to be sure what was wrong with it. It wasn’t charging the battery and was only 8 months old. Within minutes, we realised that the 2nd adapter purchased for home was a cheap replica bought for £5 from ebay – it just wasn’t up to the job basically. Very luckily, the laptop was undamaged and a journey back to the manufacturer was saved – he would have been charged for the offence! Our suggestion would be to avoid spending less than £20-£25 as you could be risking you or your laptop!
