Hi all.. I recently bought a HP DV5-1133tx laptop and am hoping to get a car charger for it. Only thing is I've looked everywhere and can't find one! Anyone had any luck with this sort of thing? I'm hoping to find either a cigarette plug to a normal 3 prong power plug or a cigarette to mickey mouse type plug that you find on notebook power adapters. Thanks everyone!

Have a look at Jaycar (jaycar.co.nz) they tend to be pretty good for that kind of stuff.

I've had a look on Jaycar and can't seem to find what I'm after. From what I understand I need a DC-DC converter but the cigarette plug doesn't actually output enough wattage for the rated wattage for my notebook (90W. 19V, 4.74A). So I guess my next question is does it harm a notebook to charge it at a lower power level or will it just take longer to charge?
