Hi y'all!
My Acer Travelmate 433LC came with a LITEON power adapter rated 19V and 4A
The other day, some power surge in the wall outlet blew me adapter to kingdom come. Thankfully, the laptop wasnt plugged into the power supply.
Now, out where i am rite now, findin a LITEON adapter will mean i go huntin for a looong while. My questions are...
1. Laptops run on DC Batteries rated at 12V rite? So why do i need a 19V adapter?
2. Can i buy an IBM/Compaq adapter that's rated say 15V and 3.5A?
Help needed urgently :-( My next term starts in a couple of weeks...and not havin a laptop will mean i'll be in the poorhouse :-(
Thank y'all in advance for the advice.
