On the blown inverter, can you not get a dedicated car PSU for the laptop? After all, all you do with the inverter is up the voltage, only to put it back through a PSU to drop the voltage again. Depending on laptop model you can normally source a car PSU for about Â£40 in the UK. When you get your Eee PC this place can supply a PSU for the car for Â£30 plus p&p so suspect you can get similar in Oz?

Yes i have found one for $30 here. I just happened to have the cheap inverter anyway so I used it. I just hped it would last till the EE PC.

Thanks Wiggs'
Looks ideal.

What the f

ck is it called though? where do I find one?

The wire wont be taking much current as it is only monitors the current so shouldn't f

ck anything up............................I hope.

Thanks wiggs,
