    I was wondering is anyone knows if there are any compatible tips for ac adapters from Kensington, iGo, Targus, etc for the Asus Z71V. I ask because the adapter supplied by Asus died last night...and I can't recharge my now dead battery I would see if I could RMA it, but I don't want to wait and would rather just get something I can use to charge my other electronics, and I, uh, opened the adapter (yeah, I know, stupid...) after nothing i did would get it to work...the main capacitor was blown, and it smells like it is leaking electrolyte, btw. Anyway, I remember reading on another forum the Z71V shared a tip with other laptops for the iGo adapter, but I can't find it and I wanted to see if someone on here has used any kind of adapter that I will be able to get tonight for this. Thanks

    I was going to ask the same thing... I'm thinking of a iGo Juice 70 or 130, so I can bring one charger with me for my Laptop and my cell/pda, and still have it work on the plane when I need it. Anyone know if there's a tip that will work with the W3V? iGo's site lists the Juice 70 as compatible if you search on the W3V, but won't tell you which tip you need.
