My cat chewed at the plug of my HP laptop’s AC adapter a few weeks ago, and the wire finally damaged beyond repair today. As I’m looking into buying a replacement AC adapter straight from the HP store, the best price I can get is around $55 before shipping and handling. On another site, www.prontocharger.com, I found this http://www.prontocharger.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=56550 for a better price, which is apparently on sale and the website swears that it is compatible. Seems a little too good to be true from a third-party adapter however.
Should I trust this prontocharger.com and order the model that’s on sale, or play it safe and get an (expensive) exact replacement straight from HP? Bear in mind that the body of the AC adapter is completely fine, it’s just the end of the cord that is broken.
