4.0 out of 5 stars
Mostly Satisfied, March 7, 2010
This review is from: Toshiba PA3468U-1ACA 75-Watt Global AC Adapter for Toshiba Laptops (Electronics)
I purchased this adapter, because it was a lot cheaper than the ones available via the manufacurers website for my laptop. And, it had the correct Amps and wattage, whereas the adapter the manufacturer of my laptop tried to sell me a charger with a higher charge rate, which I wasn't too keen on, so I thought, when all else fails, Amazon. They had the charger I wanted, at half the price.
The charger came on time, in good condition, except, when I went to charge my laptop, it made an electrical buzzing noise, like something was loose inside, electrical wise. And, probably because of this, it caused my mouse to freak out/loose responsiveness during the begining of charging, but after a while, and after the battery was fully charged, it all but dissapeared. All in all, an annoyance at best. Besides, with the new charger I'm able to charge my laptop without having to constantly check that it's actually charging, and not just sitting there with a ghetto 'taped together' charger plugged in.
I left this in the seller feedback info, and the company got with me right away to address the situation, and offered a replacement, and even offered to cover return shipping, up to a certain ammount. They were very courteous, and appologized for the faulty item. All in all, I'm pleased with them, and can't knock them down below a 4. I'll see about an update when I recieve the replacement as well.
Because I had just received the item, I cannot realy say anything about the brittleness, or other manufacturing problems plaguing other reviews, however in the couple of weeks that I had the item, I had no problems with it at all. I can only hope the the replacement will be just as well made... Another slight downside is that it isnt as smooth-looking as my previous adapter, and it's more boxy, but hey, I like looking stylish-diva when I'm working with computers. ;p
--Update--
After receiving the replacement, in a timely manner I might add, it works great. No funny-noises, and no erratic mouse movements. I've had it for a couple months now, and it hasn't worn down on me, or displayed any 'brittle' qualities, knock on wood. Im pleased.
