The replacement charger arrived quickly but I never deduct stars if the product arrives late as long as it arrives in one piece which it did.
The reason I needed another charger was because my wire in my original Toshiba Charger had come open and actually set some sparks off and burned itself during spanish class one day.
1. The jack is L shaped.
2. The power supply part of the this charger is lighter than my original one by at least 1/3. I think this is actually a good thing just for the lighter bulk to carry with me.
3. The power supply does not get very hot at all compared to my original charger which would at least get to 100 degrees plus and always felt like it was going to fry itself one day (which it did). I believe this charger is going to last me a long time. When I say this charger is barely hot, I literally mean it, the temperature of the power supply pack is only about 80 degrees. I took this temperature when it was charging my laptop for 8 hours continuously. There is no change in temperature.
4. It's very well constructed its built to last, its not one of those really cheap chinese manufactured electronic goods. (I'm Asian just so that you don't think i'm racist of something) just trying to relate.
5. The only con to the charger is the part where you plug the cord into the power supply and to the wall theres something weird about how it was made. This is really hard to explain but try to bear with me. The cord that plugs into the wall and the power supply pack that plug-in part to the supply pack for some reason does not let you plug the cord in all the way into the power supply because its like the manufacturer didnt' cut the cord down all the way for you to plug it all the way in. I am currently using my old power cord for this charger which works just fine, but just pointing that out.
In conclusion, the price is very unbeatable and this will last you sometime as long as you don't throw it out a window or use it to start a fire. The only complaint I had is the power cord strip. If there is any questions concerning what I was trying to describe feel free to email me at [...] Replacement Toshiba Power Supply Cord Ac Adapter Laptop Charger Satellite (Equivalent)
I have two Toshiba laptops which were different models, but the power cords were interchangeable. I bought this cord as a replacement. The price was great, but it only partially works. At first I was pleased because it seemed to work, but after sever hours of being plugged in with the new cord my laptop battery was still not charged. I thought it odd, so I rebooted and tried it again. It still did not work. I then tried in on my wife's toshiba as well and the same thing happened. It gives power to the computer, but the battery won't charge. What good it is really if you can't charge the battery? PS- I've tried charging the laptops with the power off and it still doesn't work. You'd be better off going with a different product!
EDIT: ac adapter started smoking and case deformed from heat! This was after only one week. This could have been bad. Thankfully my wife was home and smelled the smoke- this could have easily been a fire!
My Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910 charger gave out after less than a year, I had originally bought a Rocketfish RF-PRACDC Travel Laptop Power Adapter but it did not charge my laptop as it was never a snug fit to adequately charge it. I decided to give this one a chance and it works just like the original charger and has a very snug fit. Its the same size as the original but just so you know its a three pronged not a two prong, as my old charger. Its just a long as the older one and a bit thicker on the cord.
Do NOT buy this product!! I bought it for my 13 year old daughter who leaves her computer plugged in when it is in her bedroom. This charger worked for about 2 months and then suddenly just stopped working. Westronics wanted nothing to do with me or replacing the item which had a 90 day warranty. Upon examining this item again I realized that the adapter box was all melted! My daughter had this plugged in in her bedroom at night and it could have caused a fire!!
Old one stopped working. As I urgently needed my laptop for school (finals week!) I bought an expensive one I can't really afford at Best Buy. I wanted to then return that once I ordered a cheaper one online. Found this one, figured it would work. When it arrived, I returned the expensive one to the store. This one, however, only works sporadically. Within a single minute, it may go on/off several times. I constantly have to readjust it to get it to work. Sometimes it stops working when I don't even bump it. This is no good and not reliable at all! I am returning it ASAP and ordering something else that will hopefully actually work.
This item works great. I wasn't sure if it would work with my Toshiba A215-S5837 but it does - even better than the original. It doesn't get as hot as the original and the "L" shaped end seems to fit snugger. The cord isn't as long as the original but that not a problem for me. When compared to the prices in local retailers you can't beat this. I plan on ordering another just to have an extra one.'
