[MLB-WIRELESS] I need to borrow lappy p/s

Hi,

Some HP laptops are very picky about their power adapter, and won't use it unless its
something it likes.
Mine flatly refuses to accept any of the clone adaptor's I have tried on it, even though the
voltage etc seem correct.

Quite happy to use the correct HP power adaptor though...

Regards
Roger
