[mdlug] [WLUG] OT: laptop power problems

[Bhaskar Navaneetham]

Hi David,

The power card cost around $ 50.00 or may less if you buy from dell store or
buy a universal adapter from radio shack or circuit city that will help you
even  lot better if you use some other laptop, camcorder, camera. If you
decide to go with universal adapter, my recommendation don't go for iGO
product. They are expensive and hard to get the plug from them.

Best of luck for your research.

Bhaskar
