What a bother!

Well, first I would give these guys a shout at their brand new MEGASTORE...

Currys PC World Sydenham
Unit 5 Bell Green Retail Park, Sydenham
London, SE26 4PU

They sell Lenovo Laptops. You cannot ring the store directly. Which is a bother but you may be able to "click and collect" the same day.

It is a great store. All of this right next to the behemoth Sainsburys at Bell Green/Lower Sydenham.

And there is a Toys R Us, B&Q, Next - Home (due to open in early 2014) and Pets At Home (which have the coolest little lizards and snakes for sale).

But focusing on your issue, rather than reptiles...on Dartmouth Road there is a good little computer store near to The Bird in Hand that has a good little eclectic range. They might just have a universal charger if they don't have a Lenovo charger.

Finally, that little phone shop thingy on London Road near to Energie Gym can sometimes have the most obscure bits and bobs. He saved a Mate of mine once that had a hard to find Hauwei phone and needed it to be charged. Right from under the counter he pulled out a new Hauwei charger for exactly his phone. For a fiver!

I know that you are looking for a laptop charger but I would love the same trick to happen for you since Lenovo and Hauwei are both Chinese. Stranger things have happened.

You got someone at Maplins that was a bit behind in their product knowledge. Lenovo is the second biggest selling brand of personal computers in the world since 2011. Maybe a Product and Brand refresher course for them.

Good luck with your search, Thorners.
