[tsume]

A family members Samsung laptop charger has burned out. Where would I be able to get a replacement laptop charger?

Or you could get one of those generics from quite a few places.

I've bought a few chargers as well as batteries through wantitall.co.za. Just be aware that some of their prices are ridiculously high. But I've always managed to get them for around the R200 mark

Current Automation or Mantech.

I've used Laptop Accessories too. Their pricing is reasonable.

Is the generic one suitable for the latest laptops? I've seen some laptops don't charge unless you get the correct charger

Yes. As long as the rating on the generic charger matches the one of your current charger, and the charging pin is the same size with the same polarity (negative inside & positive outside, or vice versa), then you're good to go.

Regarding the rating, the output voltage should be exactly the same and the output current (amps) should be at least the same as your current charger, or more.

There's nothing more to it than that.
