My item shipped from Hong Kong and as far as I can tell, is not the OEM part I expected (unless Toshiba is a.k.a. GD-JY-SHDZ COMP CO., LTD.). It is of inferior quality and durability compared to my original; light and flimsy, much shorter cords, no tie-off band. BUT, it was low priced ($49 shipped), it's working, and seems it will make a good backup. So, fair.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much hassle to stay working, September 30, 2009

I bought this specifically because the description said it was a Toshiba brand product. What I received is not. That is not the issue, however. This is a two-part AC adapter where one part "plugs into" the transformer portion of the second part. The problem is that the parts do not stay connected well enough to keep the electrical current flowing. It takes too much finagling to get it to work in the first place, having to find just the right connection. Once found, a slight movement and no power flow to the laptop. I am currently trying to return this part as defective.

That said, the original order process and delivery went well with Northparts, hence the two-star rating. I will update the review to let you know how the return process goes.

The connector fits only loosely into the laptop socket (the diameter of the plug does not quite match the socket).
After just 1 month of light use the point where the wire comes out of the connector head became loose, so the contact is lost and I have to buy a new charger.
