where to buy a charger for Lenovo Thinkpad W700

keithboyd

Hi there

I am trying to buy a new charger for my Lenovo Thinkpad W700.

I have tried lenovo website and they do not have them. I used the webchat and the guy said they dont supply them after 5 years of a machine coming out.

The W700 is a laptop i bought in 2010 so it is over 5 years old, but it is a workhorse of a machine and it cost me lots of money at the time.

I cannot find anywhere that sells them.

Anyone got any tips or leads at all where i can buy one. I have ordered two from online sites now and they both did not fit - even though the description says it is for a W700. It is 170v and 20w.

cheers.

Am stuck as i have now been looking since end of July and am at a brick wall.

Your ruler shot is taken at a bit of an angle so it's hard to tell the size, and you also need to measure the pin diameter inside.

Assuming it's something common like 5.5mm/2.1mm or 5.5mm/2.5mm then you should be able to find a generic replacement power supply.

Most will be 19V or 19.5V these days, but laptops generally accept a range of voltages so there should be no ill effects.

Hi thanks.
Ah I didn't know I could buy a different wattage and voltage.  
I guess it just come down to the size of the hollow pin.
I reckon it 10mm in pin length and 5 mm in outer diameter and 4mm in inner diameter.

Thanks for this. I really have been searching the websites since end of July. No retailers seem to sell them. I ordered two but the pin was the wrong size.
