    Quality Replacement AC adapters. Are there any left?

    I try to order AC Adapter for HP dv5 (dv5-1040ev) from ebay and I am very confused. There are thousands of them and it seems there is no way to distinguish the cheap Chinese stuff from the decent ones..

    I found "Genuine HP" chargers too but in the negative vote page there were comments claiming they are fake and go out in sparks immediately when plugged on AC or after some time of use.

    Where do you buy laptop adapters at an affordable price? Isn't there any reliable ebay seller you could suggest to me?

      Most adapter are chinese crap.
      The cheaper they are the more crap is in them.

      They have a 65 and 90 watt
      I would recommend : pay a few bucks more and go for the 90w and stick with an original HP model

      You still might have to get it from a chinese supplier

        Is this genuine?

        Should I trust the seller?

            I need the 90W model, but they don't state what model is this they are selling. But they clearly state that they don't sell cheap copies... Hm.. I already sent them a message.

            Should I buy this?

            It's not HP, but it has many certifications on its label.

              You are not going to get a genuine one for those prices !!!!

              check what your original part number is !!! If you do not have the original adapter , the info should be under the battery.

              this might be one

                Anything with a pin diameter of 7.45mm*5.0mm and a center pin will work for you (As long as it's the correct voltage). Those two items you linked to are both garbage, one is an outright counterfeit, and the second one is a replacement adapter of very low quality.

                Dell PA-10 is an example of a good replacement for you, they both use the same connector. The only difference between Dell and HP adapters is that Dell adapters have some internal logic that communicate with the power circuit, and Dell laptops will not run at full speed unless the logic is present on the third wire (But HP Laptops don't care about the third wire in Dell adapters).

                Here is an authentic direct replacement from France:
                http://www.ebay.com/itm/171343551130

                PA-10 from England:
                http://www.ebay.com/itm/181421178188

                If you spend enough time searching on eBay, you can find the best price with the best shipping rate. If you don't mind spending an hour or two, you can save a few dollars.

                        I had an HP dv4 that would not run on a dell PA10 OR PA12
                        so Unless you have had tried this dell on an actual DV5 and you know that it is definitely compatible, I wouldn't push it
                        That center pin is a factor !!

                              yep, it charges and runs without battery.

                                  I've had a few i.e. G60 where the Dell charger would light up the DC jack in LED but wouldn't power on without a genuine HP charger.

                                    look for the logo which is usually like in the first and second picture
                                    Also look for the fully spelled out Hewlett Packard name on the adapter somewhere

                                    I found the one in the third picture on ebay-- I think this one might be a fake one and that ad says genuine

                                    OF course , just because a seller has an original in the picture, that does not mean that is what they are selling. Look out for the words compatible and ask them to make sure

                                        If you look in the ad it says compatable so no

                                          Hello,

                                          Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

                                          So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

                                          I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

                                          I don't have to explain the significance of restoring this; 16:10 Aspect Ratio, 1920x1200; very high end Samsung LTM240CT04 panel. Add in it's blonde (will pair nice with a retro rig) and also ELO touchscreen. It is very well made, very heavy. Even used these are hard to find and expensive....but it had some problems...

                                          Problem one, the external PSU was missing. I found one in my stash that had the correct voltage (12V) with the goofy 4-pin plug it used. It however was light on the...

                                          I posted another thread like this for a TV power supply. This is for information purposes for anyone who has a bad one and wants to repair instead of replace. There is no model number on these but internally they appear to be the same, fan being the only difference I can find. If a component is damaged and can't be identified, this may help. One I have has the brand name XinJieBao on the front above the display. The other isn't marked.

                                          My impressions. I can't say for sure on the chips and such but the HV capacitor is a very low quality one if I think. I tried to google it and also...

                                          Hello,

                                          I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

                                          So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
                                          Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

                                          Spent some time downloading the Service...

                                          Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
                                          by DXseekerMO
                                          Hello everyone!

                                          Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

                                          I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...
