    AC Adapter swap?
    « on: December 23, 2012, 06:37:42 AM »
    Hello Everyone!
    I have received a new Toshiba Computer but the AC adapter did not get shipped when they sent it! Specs show it requires 19Volts 3.42 amps, I have a Dell AC adapter which is 19.5V 4.62A from am old computer, will this safely work on the Toshiba or will it damage it?

    I'd stick with the correct adapter. You can usually find 3rd party adapters with the exact same specs at much lower prices (Google), just make sure you enter your make and model computer in the search.

      Unless there are extenuating circumstances why do you not advise the source of your laptop of the omission of the adapter and request the omission be corrected ?truenorth
