erm best bet for a cheap one would be ebay just need to make sure its a switchable one an works with the voltage of your laptop..

i would recommend a kensington one.. again ebay or pc world.. which is an auto switching charger which would work with any laptop an chooses the voltage automatically theyre about 70 quid brand new.. i would highly recommend one of these tbh much safer and compatible with anything upto 150w

oh forgot to mention the kensington will work mains power and in the car
