[resolved] Sony Vaio Power Supply

Norman Kaui · 08-01-2005, 02:26 AM

I recently purchased a replacement power supply for my laptop on eBay. The new power supply is 19.5 Volts and the orginal one is 16 volts.

Can I still use the 19.5 Volt power supply or will the voltage difference fry it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are the current numbers the same. If it is about the same amps it should be ok. It may produce more heat though.

But it is not a good idea to use a power supply for a laptop it was not designed for. If this is your only choice, then try it.

Thanks. :-) I'm still not sure. I might just sell this one and purchase the correct one. :-)
