   A dedicated power adaptor is more likely to be correct. Switched voltage
types may not be too accurate and could over or under charge the battery.
You may get a good deal at www.1stcomponents.com in Park Royal.
   Unfortunately the symptoms can also indicate a genuine fault, anything
from a damaged connector to a motherboard fault, commonly due to a graphics
chip overheating and unsoldering itself. There is a non-refundable charge
for diagnostics, but they are able to complete a repair in the majority of
cases.
