    I need to replace my adapter for a HP Pavilion DV2000 and I found one off ebay for only ten dollars. But at bestbuy and other electronics store they range from 40 to 80 dollars. Here is the ebay link:

    Is this the right adapter for my laptop? What are the risk of using an adapter such as this one?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered. :)

    I had to replace my adapter for my hp dv6000. I brought this one and it work with my hp dv6000. IT has been working for about a year now and still no problems. http://cgi.ebay.com/AC-Battery-Charger-for-HP-Pavilion-DV2000-DV9000-Laptop_W0QQitemZ170346057383QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27a96a8ea7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1205|293%3A1|294%3A50
    It would definatlly work because it work with my hp, theres really no danger.

    You can match up the numbers of the old adapter to the new one.
