My wife is needing a replacement power supply for her laptop.
Every where I am looking, is 40 to 50$, and to me that is a lot just for a power cord.
Does anyone have this model for an asus? ac power adapter model adp-150nb d

Thanks Idaho...on amazon, they are some crazy prices!
Will be purchasing one on Monday. It isn't for Christmas, the piece that goes into the laptop broke, but since nothing is wrong with the laptop, I rather buy a cord then a new laptop.
If you are handy you can go to radio shack and get the piece and fix it.
It's usually the female plug-in inside the laptop that breaks loose from the motherboard, sometimes you can fix them sometimes you can't. It's a crapshoot.

take it to radio shack and they will hand you the right connector. Plug it in and read the voltage off the two wires before soldering. determine the positive wire and that SHOULD be the one that goes into the center of the connector while the other one gets soldered to the external portion.
George, not sure if you already bought a new one, but these are pretty easy to fix.
1. snip the rubber end off the cord, then strip the shielding back on the wire.
2.If you choose to try to re-fit it, hollow-out the rubber end you snipped off, and slide it down the snipped wire so it can be slid back up to cover the tip once the repair is done. If you are like me, toss the rubber end and just wrap the end in electrical tape once it's repaired.
3. expose enough of the wire mesh around the core (just under the sheilding) so you can wind a small pigtail that is long enough to solder. This is your ground. You will also have had to strip back enough of the wire to expose the copper wire at the core (enough to solder).
4. Solder the copper core wire to the center tab on the back of metal tip. Solder the mesh pigtail to the tab that connects to the barrel portion of the metal tip. Make sure you have some type of shield between the two new solder joints to keep them from touching. shrink tubing works nicely...if you slipped it on prior to soldering. Can use electrical tape as well.
I repair laptops as a side business and most of the power supplies I use on my test bench were repaired this way after someone else cast them off as broken.
