    Crazy lads - my sony one went and the official one was about 90 euro. Via Ebay (reputable buyer with 100% feedback), got a generic one for 15 euro including postage. Working like a charm. Get the model number off your lead and search for it on Ebay. Only go with a reputable buyer from either Ireland or (more likely) the UK. Do not go via China, Hong Kong or any other country!

    My girlfriends went bang as well. PC world said it'd be about €80. Got it on Amazon for under half that. Definitely try and get it online if you can.

    when my dell one went i bought a replacement in soundstore for about €50


    just bring the old one with you and they should be able to find a match.

    When I was living in Carrigtwohill my lead went for a HP laptop I had - went to the computer shop in Middleton and got a generic one for 20 - just brought the machine with me and he knew the one I needed.
