A guide to getting the perfect replacement laptop charger
A laptop is great when it is working well but you will find that you can get very frustrated when you try to look for a replacement part. Many sellers do not provide the best equipment possible and you can easily end up receiving a sub-standard laptop charger. Some websites are also difficult to navigate which would be fine for somebody who worked with laptops but not for the average home user.
Power ratings will help you get the right power adaptor for your laptop and this is of vital importance. A 120w charger can blow both charger and motherboard when plugged into a laptop requiring only 65w of power.
You should be looking for the Voltage and Ampage rating in the first instance. This can be found on the original laptop charger sticker. It is usually in very small writing amongst a whole range of other information. A typical example will read 19V 3.42A.
Next, make a note of the make and model of your laptop. This will be somewhere on the laptop itself, either underneath or on the plastic around the screen or keyboard. With this information, you now know you are looking for a specific brand of charger for a particular model of laptop and you also know the charge rating.
The final check to make is the size and shape of the tip of the charger. You can do a simple measurement to establish the size by measuring the diameter of the outside of the tip and one for the diameter of the inner hole. You then have all of the information you require.
A good website such as www.laptop-power.co.uk will show you the charger you need after you enter the model number. They will have researched the market and know which replacement laptop adapter fits. The power and size details are then provided as a verification for your own peace of mind. That’s all there is to it! Get the power rating, Model number and tip size and you are only a few clicks away from ordering the correct laptop adapter.
