Praetor Administrator Staff member Jul 21, 2004 #4 Dunno if this is relevent but also check the current (the amperage) too
Lanther New Member Jul 21, 2004 #5 didnt think about that will have to check it to. Are most of those adapters universal for laptops it comes with about 8 different ones the power adapter does.
