The Toshiba psu should be fine as long as the pin assignment is the same. The higher current is not a problem as the laptop will only use what it needs.

Cheers JC, I'll give it a try in a bit!

I've noticed some adapters have different wattages too, e.g. mine is 65w, I've seen some that go up to 90w or more, does that make a difference?

It worked fine with my laptop, though the battery now won't charge - not sure if it was faulty initially or if using that adapter with the higher voltage blobbed the battery

Got the proper adapter now, all going great!

And another bit of news. The DVD-RW drive doesn't work - but it's an external one. I went back to Woolworths today about it, and the rather dopey looking assistant manager (I think) looked like he was going to give me some grief, but decided to give me a part refund of £25 as they couldn't replace it! I'm going to phone Medion up tomorrow or Monday to see if they can do anything about the drive. I'm assuming that the laptop will be under some sort of warranty, so I could get a replacement for free! Though if not I've got that part refund to get another.

So, if I do get a free replacement drive, I'll have gotten the laptop for £75!
