I would like someone to point me to (preferably an amazon link) a power supply that is guaranteed to work with my RPi and provide enough power for ethernet, and possibly a keyboard and mouse.
In the past I have been able to just plug the USB power cord into my laptop, but this is no longer working for some reason. All I currently get is a red power light.
I have read the long list of accessories on the wiki, but many have notes on them about only working under certain conditions, or that only one person found it to work. So, is there a widely-available, bullet-proof option for me?
And one clarifying question: My USB HDD has two USB ports. If I were to run the Pi headless, and use both USB ports for the HDD, would it provide power? Or would I still have to use a powered usb hub/similar?
