Things Should Mind About Your Notebook Adapter
Want a new AC adapter? Whether you're looking for a replacement adapter, a spare, or an extra one for home/office use, our article will guide you toward making your decision.
Step 1: Check Your Current Adapter
On our site, there are two ways for you to find the adapter that will power your specific notebook model. First, you can find adapters by using our enhanced search tool to input the make, series, and model of your notebook. After you have inputted the information about your notebook a list of compatible products will appear. From there you can select the adapter you're looking to purchase.
Second, you can input the part number in our search box. The part number is often located on the adapter on the underside of the power adapter box. Examples of part numbers are: 394224-001. After you input your part number, a list of products that will work with your notebook will appear.
Step 2: Volts
When looking at the specifications of an adapter you will see that some are made specifically for your notebook model and others are universal. Either type will work. Deciding between a universal and non-universal adapter is a matter of preference.
There are some advantages with choosing a universal notebook adapter. This type of adapter can be used with many notebooks, which may be convenient if you have multiple notebooks that are from different manufacturers or are different models. Every universal adapter comes with multiple tips to fit different notebooks. They also have a switch for you to adjust the volts.
Whether you choose a universal or non-universal adapter you want to check the volts. Each notebook is unique and requires a different amount of energy. The amount of volts your unit requires is printed on the bottom of your notebook. You may also check your owner's manual for this information. Using an adapter with less volts than is required for your notebook will not work. There simply will not be enough power to run it.
