Laptop Power Supply

Hi,

I have an M-tech laptop with a P4 inside, and a dying power supply. It lasts only about a year.. when I first got my laptop, after a year of use, it died in mid-April of last year. It was under warranty so I got a free replacement. Now, it is this time of year again and it is dying again. I guess they can't put in a good fan... so it just gets louder and louder until it dies. And then they make me pay $100 to replace it.

Does anyone know where I can get cheaper replacement? Specs:
INPUT: 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz, 2.0 Amps
OUTPUT: 20V ~ 6.0 Amps, 120W MAX

What really stinks is that I need to find one with the proper connecter on the laptop side... (I've been looking at those "universal laptop power supplies, and it doesn't put out enough power).

Do you think I can get them to replace it without charge, if I complain enough? It's not under warranty... but was just like my other one.. lasts about a year and then quits.
