I just wasted $200 on a 'universal' laptop charger kit that fried a client's motherboard.

The cheap voltage regulator failed under load, so now I'm out the repair cost and have to explain why their machine is dead.

Stop buying those universal kits, they're a gamble. I learned the hard way after killing a MacBook Air with a cheap adapter. Now I only use OEM chargers or reputable brands like Anker for universal needs. Keep a few common charger tips in your kit instead. It costs more upfront but saves you from eating repair bills later.
