I'm looking for a spare power supply for my laptop. The one I have is not broken, I just, literally, want a spare.
Trouble is I can't find one anywhere. Mine is a PA-1131-05 but I can only seem to find PA-1131-03 and PA-1131-07 online, but they have *exactly* the same specs. Same voltage and amperage, same wattage too obviously (135W - it's a gaming laptop). Same connector too, in case you were wondering lol (well it, looks the same, I'll be happy to be corrected here)
However Acer say I *need* the '05' version which, not really surprisingly, is only available from them at a very inflated price compared to the others I can get from Amazon et al :(
What's so special about the Acer one? It's not like it produces special electrons that only an Acer laptop can use...
...or does it?
