Laptop charger...

[Minstrels]

Well I broke my laptop charger last night, the end of it just snapped off because it got bent that many times... I've just ordered a new one and it will take 7-14 working days to get here. However I need my laptop like now... It has all the programs I need (Photoshop, Fireworks, Limewire, BitLord etc) and files which I need which my mums laptop obv doesn't have...

So do you think the charger would work for a temp job if I soldered it together and put some duck tape round it until my new charger gets here? And if it does work how long will I need to wait to see if it works because it's drained out all of the power so will it stay off for like... 30-60 mins while gaining enough power to switch on?

[-Eliminate]

yes it would because right now my charger has ducktape around it and was soldered

i got my dad to do it, and its been working fine so far for about 3 months, as long as everything connects why not

Mine broke like that, my dad just put duck tape and it lasted a few more days lol. I use my mums atm. but it's at repair now, so I am on my main comp

Ye it'll work as long as you do it right. Don't electrocute yourself though xP

[N!ck]

If it's the same voltage then it should work but be careful if you decide to try it, and don't do it if it's not the same.

Mine breaks all time lol, I haven't had it fixed yet cos I've got ma exams so it works out good but when I do I just take it to some shop down road and they put a new adapter on end of it which fits in perfectly and it costs like £1.50 lol.
