I bought a $90 'universal' laptop charger kit that fried a client's motherboard
It was one of those kits with a bunch of different tips and a box that said it auto-detects voltage. I used it on a Dell laptop last week, and it worked fine for about ten minutes before the machine shut off and wouldn't turn back on. The board had a burnt spot near the power jack. I had to eat the cost of a replacement board, which was another $120, plus my time. Anyone have a go-to brand for reliable universal chargers that won't do this?
