Title: laptop charger problem
Post by: kafor1 on October 21, 2019, 07:16:05 am
hey guys so i have a problem.
before i was using a 19v 3.42A charger for my laptop, and now it broke. i checked inside and it doesnt produce output anymore and theres no part sold here.
so i was planning to buy a 19v 4.5A universal charger, since i can't buy a charger similar rating. and i tried it, it works. but i didnt buy it. thats why im here to ask that question. is it ok for me to buy that laptop with different A specs?

A charger that can deliver more current should not be a problem, the laptop takes what is needed.

so there is no risk of my laptop exploding or something?

Not because of using this replacement charger.
