I know this is off topic, but I appeal to the collective grace, and hope this
list-fount of knowledge can answer or provide me with leads:
I just bought a new laptop which arrived yesterday. My previous laptop is an
HP ZX5000 which had a P4 3GHz processor, and took an enormous 120 W power
supply rated to deliver 18.5 V and 6.5 A.
My new laptop is an Asus 'Gaming laptop' G2S-B2 (I'm not a gamer but I wanted
this for its power which I use for video editing); the power supply states
that it delivers 19 V and 6.32 A. It doesn't have a wattage output imprinted,
but in the spec sheet for my new machine, it states that it requires 90 W
I noticed the closeness in specs, and tried one of the HP laptop power
supplies on the new machine. It operates it just fine. My question is, am I
liable to cause any issues by using a 18.5 V power supply in place of the 19
V one. This of concern to me, because I keep three power supplies on hand for
my machine, two of which are permanently installed at my place of work and in
my residence, and the third which is for on-the-road use. It would be nice if
I could get away with using my spare HP units and not have to buy two more
power supplies for my new machine.
It's long since I enquired into such, but +-10% should be fine. The
biggest risk was polarity, I'm not sure that's well standardised.
