Can you afford £7.50?

yeah, i was looking at it but got told buying online is dodgy? i looked at that very one about a hour ago

and will i need the other half of it, ( the mains cable?) just to be sure?

it works for about three seconds when i turn it on and off 😕

Whoever told you that buying online is dodgy doesn't know what they're talking about. Buying from Amazon is very safe, and they have a very good returns policy if your item doesn't work.

i know amazon are good, i have my own site on there, but yeah, a few friends ( of the geeky, male variety) all suggested i go comet/currys/argos and staples, ill order it and the cable, thank you, im not very good with laptops!

Amazon are all good. Ebay is ok as long as you read the customer reviews.

You might get it a bit quicker from a brick and mortar store, but you'll also pay more. As you have a site on Amazon I don't see why you would question buying from there. Your choice. Good luck.

Come to think of it.

If you take a picture for me of the whole cable especially a close up of the connection that goes into the the laptop I might actually have one.
