Title: Lasted quite a while for a generic
Product review: I bought this product in April 2008; it is just now breaking, and i've put it through the ringer. Cheaper than HP or any retail store, and it lasted as long as the original HP product.The nature of the current malfunction could probably be fixed by soldering - basically, one of the two metal connectors within the adaptor on the AC end burned a hole through the solder-looking material on top of the circuitboard, and so the connector wiggles around - when the connector does not quite touch the metal, it sparks in attempt to make the connection, so I had to rig it about a week ago to make it work.My only beef is that the casing is very weak and had to be electrical taped together after a short time.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
