U30JC discussion thread

[Helpmyfriend]

I want to order another AC power cord for my notebook, cause it would save me the hassle of having to lug around the cord to my room and office and back. Anyone know where i can buy one at reasonable price?

eBay has them. Amazon also has them for a variety of prices ($15-60).

Thor has it HERE with a 5-yr warranty for $15+$5 shipping. That should do for you!

AMazon and that other link dont ship to Canada. I checked EBAY but nothing comes up when i search for U30JC AC power.

Oops. Didn't realize you are in Canada. Doesn't eBay & Amazon have Canadian branches?

From the US sites, you can see that the adapter for the U30Jc is the same as for the UL30 models (for example, HERE). Search for an adapter for the UL30 as it's a more common model. They're both 90W, 19V, 4.74A.

HERE's one. But it's $30 CDN.

eBay - Deals on new and used electronics, clothing, collectables and more on eBay is the cdn branch and Amazon.ca: Online shopping for Canadians - books, electronics, music, DVDs, software, video games & more.

Damn $37 shipped for the one on amazon. What a joke.

Hoping to find it for $20.

Would this work? But its only 65W.

Just picked up my U30JC-B1

Can't wait to crack it open and give it a run - but that will have to wait a couple of days unfortunately

Thanks to everyone who helped answer questions on here...esp Quatro.

If anyone has questions about the laptop give me a few days to try it out then feel free to PM me and I'll tell you what I can about it.

Got mine today as well and I should have a full review up soon enough. I know people are interested in the performance of the i3-370M.

AC Power Adapter Charger for ASUS UL20 UL30 UL50 series on eBay.ca (item 300447952950 end time 18-Aug-10 16:16:04 EDT)

I wouldn't get it since it is only 65W instead of 90W and 3.42A instead of 4.74A. The lower Amps/Watts could result in it working, but taking FOREVER to charge. That may be why they are only listing it for the UL30 and NOT the U30Jc.

Look for one that fits the UL30 (for the tip) but offers output of: 90W, 19V, 4.74A ... like THIS ONE. I'm not 100% certain on this so get another opinion.

But it ships from China so you'll need two weeks or so to get it. I would send them a question via eBay first to be sure the tip will work for the U30Jc.

WOw thanks, ill get that one. I can wait 2 weeks for it, no hurry. I just hope its good enough quality.

I'm not 100% certain the UL30Vt & U30Jc have the same plug tip. For sure the output is identical.

Do ask them before you order.
