So the charger of my old laptop decided to give in, and now I need a new one.

The laptop is pretty old but I need it to work so I can do assignments and study related things at home.

It's a Lenovo. Anyone know where I can get a charger for it without paying a lotta money?

I've got prices in excess of R300 just for the charger.
 
Check out communica - just get the specs of your current charger - volts, amps etc. and go get a generic power supply from them - I've done that for an old laptop and charges the battery fine.
 
That's about the going rate. Even the universal chargers go for 400ish

Shot guys for the replies

Will check them out
 
Hey Riaz, your best bet is to look for a Universal Notebook Adapter imo. The older the notebook is, the more expensive a replacement part becomes, and harder to find. A universal you can use again when you upgrade. R300-400 is about the range you are looking at

Thanks @Die Kriek

I don't even think I can sell this laptop for r400 lol
 
Riaz you can give Coben IT a try as well. They are in Epping Industria and they stock and can source things for you.
 
I have an unused spare Lenovo charger lying around from a previous laptop, which you are welcome to. It says 65W 20 V. The round thingie fitting into the laptop is around 7 mm in diameter with a yellow plastic surround at the end.

HRH will be on business in the Cape Town area tomorrow. Route: Durbanville, Maitland, Paarden Island, Killarney Gardens. If there is an easy spot on that route where she can drop it off, let me know.
 
In I'm in gardens, I can meet them someplace? Give me a miss call, we can discuss

Here is your parcel, @Riaz. Suitable attired so the peeps at the counter can identify you.
