Are you talking about a charger or just an AC/DC power adapter? My external drive has a 12V 2A switching power adapter. Zakspeed might have something suitable - take the original PSU along with you. You could also try Bidorbuy for something suitable.

A few suggestions for a 12V 2A switching power adapter replacement ...

This does not appear to be a switching supply but may be suitable (might get too hot?) ...

Maybe iSonic (Cafe Viva?) has something suitable?

This might also be an option if they are still available - at least you get a "free" drive with the adapter ...

Thanks for the links and information.
Mantech seem to be the only people to assist me with this.
Called Zakspeed and they don't have any.
They inturn referred me to Hamrad in the CBD, which quoted me R220.00
Mantech have 4 units in stock here in CPT at R155.00 incl VAT.
And it's on my way home :D

Never thought it would be so hard to get hold of a little AC Adapter :confused:

More confusing is why the one I had packed up after only 7 months...

Samsung 1Tb hdd - R555 ex vat @Sahara this week.

Good price?

I dunno, I think 1 TB drives are run of the mill now, I'd love a 2TB :)

damn, IC opened a new store nearby a friend of mine, but he got there too late, they were selling T260 for 2599....ARARAGGGGGHH

Anyone know if a good special for nice big monitors? :)

Techmall was a listed Dealer here at one stage, haven't seen him active in a while.

From what I could tell, the guy runs a genuine business.
So I don't think there'd be any concerns.

I was going to buy some flash drives from him a while back, but got better pricing.
He would've delivered to my office or I would've dropped by at his place in Bellville.

So I don't think there's reason for concern.
His been up and running for a while.

Just checking his site now, there's a deal on Samsung 1TB HDD at R750.00

http://techmall.biz/samsung-sata2-32mb-p-5278.html

Not to shabby, there are at times cheaper options around though on HDD's :)

The Notebook - good deal it would seem.
