Hey thanks for that. I will hopefully now get something sorted at a decent price. Cheers

Hi Vr Checked your links, they look a bit different to mine price wise I would have taken either as what I have seen so far is £100 plus which is somewhat over the top for what you are buying. Some part numbers I have got are 180W Con 11 EPS and 669265-001. Again when I search for these part numbers it looks as though it will be a case of ordering from the USA or through a third party in this country with a 3 week delivery both asking silly money. Dont know where to go from here to be honest, I thought buying a power cable in this country would be straight forward and fairly cheap too. Many thanks for your input though and thanks to Ken also.

Hi Nev Thanks for the reply. The pc is an Hp touchsmart 520-1030uk. Cheers

Hi all I have an Hp touchsmart desktop 14 months old and it looks like my power adapter has bit the dust. Anyway Hp Uk dont stock any and neither does anyone else in the Uk by the looks of it. Its looking like its a case of ordering from America or ordering through someone in this country again from America. What I find most annoying is that it seems impossible to buy some thing like a power cable from this country and Im looking at £100 plus regardless of whether I try ang get one myself or let someone else order for me. Unbelievable. Would it be worth getting my power adapter refurbished ? Any advice or help would be very much apreciated guys. Cheers Jim
