Oct 29, 2014 at 11:35 comment added Stephen Luttrell You can solve this one symbolically using Solve[f1[x] == f2[x], x], which gives the output {{x -> -2 ProductLog[-((e^2 k \[Alpha] Sqrt[(Zl \[Rho])/(e^2 k \[Alpha])])/(2 Zl \[Rho]))]}, {x -> -2 ProductLog[(e^2 k \[Alpha] Sqrt[(Zl \[Rho])/(e^2 k \[Alpha])])/(2 Zl \[Rho])]}}, though there is also a warning message "Inverse functions are being used ...".
Oct 29, 2014 at 11:19 comment added arax @b.gatessucks Didn't work. I think that Mathematica tried to simplify the expression and the Log was eliminated.
Oct 29, 2014 at 11:17 comment added arax @celtschk Your code gave the same warning, but the result reached the desired precision. P.S. Both your code and mine need to specify the domain Reals, or it will give the result of {{}} as you pointed out. Weird!

Oct 29, 2014 at 10:51 comment added celtschk Does NSolve[SetPrecision[f1[x]==f2[x], 100], x, WorkingPrecision->100] work? (On 8.0.0.0, your version gives no warning and a result of {{}}, so I can't check myself).
