Do NOT get generic 'made in china' ac adapters off ebay. I've seen them screw with touchpads on at least 2 laptops. After a minute of being plugged in the touchpad would stop working right and be really jumpy. Unplugging the ac adapter immediately fixed the problem and replacing the generic adapter with a real OEM one from the manufacturer solved the problem for good.

Thx good to know i was looking at some really cheap ones. Ill stay away from those. Ill make sure they come from original manufacturer.

Well come to find out you can replace single keys on a keyboard. So there's no need to buy a whole new one.

Most of the universals are ok but the model specific chinese knockoffs do not last long. generally they have weak connections in the molded plug at the laptop end.
