[ale] Laptop Repair OT

[Dan Lambert]

Look at this page, and remember that all you have to do is find a laptop 
that uses the same OEM power supply as your does to be able to use this.

Here is a link to the full manual for the device, and it gives a bit 
more detail.

This power supply provides a wide variety of output voltages, plus a 5v 
USB power source, and had interchangeable tips to match the output to 
the configuration of the input receptacle of your laptop.

The input voltage is auto sensing, and all that's required to connect it 
  is to attach the correct plug module to the cord.

The link site that I sent is to a reliable e-commerce site that has good 
stocks of equipment, and I've bought a lot of stuff through them over 
the years. I've never had a complaint.
