Gee, ripped off on Ebay? Well, there's something you don't see everyday! Ebay customers must all be into S+M, because they sure take a beating from the sellers. Go to Dell. Yes, you'll pay more. But, you'll end up with a power supply. Which is a lot more than your Ebay seller gave you. Another way is to make your own power supply from Radio Shack parts. As long as you have the 3 terminal plug that goes into the computer. Just check the required voltage, and get a generic adapter. I used to hook my Dell right into the lighter plug. It worked on around 12 volts. Be sure to get the polarity right. Backwards burns out the fuse inside the laptop. You don't need the fancy $150 adapter to make the computer work.
