Power Adapter Source

While they may seem to be identical and "perfect" knockoffs, I can guarantee that they are not as perfect on the inside. They all use crap components and bridge a lot of "unnecessary" components on the pcb to save on each unit. It would take a lot more than my 10 fingers to count the number of melted and deformed chargers that come in to me that people bought off of ebay for $10. Spend the money and get the real deal. Especially when diagnosing boards.

Thanks, yeah, I've verified that it's just really convincing garbage. Duke gave me a good test. Any thoughts on how to get genuine adapters in the $20-$40 range? New or used is fine. This has nothing to do with fixing boards - I haven't used a non-genuine adapter in my life - just for selling to customers. I have no interest in selling firestarters to people so I'm trying to find a good source of functional adapters.
