Hi there,

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. He has owned the following laptop since May: MSI GT Series GT70 DominatorPro-890 Gaming Notebook. It has an 180-watt AC adapter. His laptop no longer charges because the adapter fried. He said he heard a pop and when he came back in, it was not charging.

I helped him look around for a replacement charger and settled on this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GDGZUC8/?tag=tec06d-20

Thing is, it's for ASUS laptops and he's got an MSi. Having a hard time finding a replacement for his laptop. I told him to contact MSi with respect to the adapter but he wants to try this route first.

He found this but it looks sketchy, to me: http://www.smallacc.com/brand-new-msi-gt70-dominatorpro890-ac-adapter-power-charger-p-12644.html

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks, I will show that to him and let him be the judge of it with respect to the plug.

Was only looking around for chargers fulfilled by Amazon so didn't see this one.
