It was just yesterday when I was so bothered I might not be able to use my laptop for some time. My brother has his new hard disk and will eventually use his laptop adapter that I was using for almost a year. We asked a couple of shops at that Mall yesterday and there seems no hope buying a new one that instantly. I opted on buying a universal adapter but there was no stock of the same watts. We tried the HP shop, there was no stock available too and it's on order basis so we have to wait for two to three weeks. And, when we asked how much it cost, the sales guy said it cost P5,500. Whoah! That's really expensive for an adapter. Somehow, I expected it would really be costly, one of the reason why I opted to use his laptop adapter instead of inquiring on its price last year.
Yesterday morning, I tried calling the HP service center. I found the number on the website but I was eventually transferred to Technical Support in India. I was talking with an Indian guy and told him I just needed to be transferred on HP Parts Sales in Manila. Good thing was he's really helpful and gave me the exact number. However, I wasn't so lucky speaking to any sales agent as they were all having their lunch break. And we were about to leave home yesterday, too. So I wasn't able to call back.
