Title: Question about laptop AC Adapters
Post by: namajnaG on April 16, 2013, 08:04:57 pm: Hello guys, I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now, I have a non-working AC Adapter here, I've been looking for this model on the internet but it's not displayed anywhere.

I am looking for a 3-pin PA-1121-01 6.3A for my friend's Asus D1500T laptop (Don't ask me to buy a new laptop because it's outdated, He doesn't have the money for this.)

My question would be, Since this particular model of PA-1121-01 is available nowhere on the internet, Would a different brand of AC Adapter with the same voltage and with a 3-pin 6.3A outlet work? (If I manage to find one.)

If you have a laptop that requires 9volt 3.5amps, you can get a 9volt 4amps, but not under 3.5amps

The laptop will take amps as much as it needs, but the voltage must be same.

Killermonkey is good at this i believe and may elaborate it more.

Had a idiot friend who bought the wrong replacement charger. So would charge if it was idle, but once started gaming battery would drain like wasn't plugged in.

I'm aware, This is the biggest problem right now, The plug itself is so old and rare I can't seem to find it anywhere.
