My factory charger died after just 1 year and a half of use and I was forced to purchase this toshiba charger as a THIRD attempt to fix the issue (the second time I tried a targus which lasted just 6 months).
After some research, I have found out that there is a known issue with chargers and midlevel toshiba laptops. The prong eventually overheats and wont make contact in the laptop, rendering it useless. Known lifetime for the chargers is 1 to 1.5 years. Toshiba knows of the issue, but has done nothing to fix it. They just expect their customers to give in and spend the 70$ to replace it.
So its hard to rate an item well, when I know it will stop working within a year!!!

You couldn't ask for a better seller, DealBarn did everything right. I do think Toshiba could make a charger that lasts longer. From what I've read early failure is common with this charger.

My original Toshiba AC adapter has broken after an year and the 2nd one lasted only for 3 months. After reading the product reviews I have decided not to buy another, I have soldered the matching tip and working good.

I was very pleased with the delivery time and the price. However, within a month this product broke. The connection in the wiring is defective. I am extremely disappointed. Once we get the connection in tact we cannot move the laptop because as a result of the movement the adapter wiring connection will screw up. At this time our laptop is not mobile. I have contacted the vendor requesting a replacement. Hopefully, the vendor will honor this request. I really think we just got a defective product.
Update: I contacted The Battery Center and they responded promptly with a replacement product. I am very happy with their response time and action.

My Old charger was a pain in the neck, it lost its wiring somewhere in the middle and was acting diffcult i then started looking for Chargers online for cheaper deals and i stumbled on this one on Amazon. is cool hasnt thrown much tantrums the overall wire is a lil small and its a three plug comp to the original 2 plug pin but rest is working fine as a fiddle, doesnt look a proxy any which way !!!
hope this helps and believe u me better then the universal chargers you get, last i saw my friends beeping loud for no reason

this item worked for the first few weeks. I stopped using my laptop as much as i use to. After a while the green light on the transformer stopped turning green and after pushing the cord in harder and wiggling it would stay on. Yesterday, i noticed one of the plug prongs was slightly bent so i used a little force to bend it back and it snapped off!! Now i'm without a power adapter for my laptop!

I bought this Toshiba 65W Global AC Adapter in December 2008, which was then sold by "batterycenter" for about half the price listed directly by Amazon. Since it seemed that I would be getting an OEM adapter I did not think it very risky to buy from a third-party vendor on Amazon and they seemed to have decent feedback ratings. The adapter I received (which did ship on time) appeared to be constructed of a much lower quality than the original adapter I got with the Toshiba laptop (which developed a loose connection after 20 months of use). The "batterycenter" adapter, which did have an OEM sticker, did not even last 6 months before it went dead, and it is apparently too late to qualify for a return/exchange. It is even too late for me to provide this feedback on the "batterycenter" storefront (which might explain why their rating now seems inflated). I am in the process of contacting Toshiba to discuss this problem, but in the meantime I am forced to buy another adapter so that I can continue to use the laptop.

This was my first experience buying through Amazon. The product was 1/3 the cost that the manufacturer wanted to charge plus I received quick delivery.

i was kind of worried about this thing because it looks slightly different than the original part. however, it works perfectly so far. maybe the reason why the part looks different is because there was a known defect in the original.

This adapter was much less in price than what I thought I would have to pay - so I wondered if it would work as well as the $80 to $120 models I saw listed on other sites. For the price ($20) this is an extremely good adaptor. It's better than the one that came with my laptop. I have had it for 2 months and it's still exceeding expectations.
