  i recently got one USB powered mobile phone charger (student, den always on the go, somemore use hp quite often), but i wonder will it cause any damage to my hp in anyway? (since it is nt from the original manufacturer, made in china by some kuku company)....
  
  any advice?

  bought it at sim lim...the charger got one inter-changable adapter, means u can change the "head" to charge different kind of phone....for example if i change to this "head", i can charge nokia phones, if i change it and use another "head", i can use to charge motorola phones....

  don't worry, i don't think it will suddenly explode.

  then its safe for user to use.. sure must go through donnoe what electronics check when this thing shipinto singapore.
  
  well as for the laptop.. it will not spoil your laptop. it only draws 5volts from your USB( and remember dont overload your usb or it may fail to work. overload as in, for example, plug in USB hub den connect 4 charger at the same time.)

  U funny leh...how come U bought already then start thinking about its safety?
  
  anyway...USB charger should be quite safe lar...use computer one...max only 12V DC from the PSU...change to 5V DC with max 500mA into ur phone...wouldnt explode ur phone...
  
  I got one plug also from sim lim...connect to the power point one...230V ac change to 5V DC for USB connection...quite OK...not very hot when in operation...my phone still working...
