Icarus of the Calgarypuck forum is asking advice in relation to adapters.

Unfortunately, the Toshiba laptop AC adaptor that he was supplied with malfunctioned and he was wondering if, in the short term, it would be ok to use a Dell AC adapter with a slightly lower output.

Other members of the forum think that, with the power output being similar, there won’t be a problem. It’s notable that quite a few of Icarus’s advisors are quite keen not to take responsibility if everything goes horribly wrong.

Using random adapters is the sort of thing that leads to invalidated warranties, so we don’t think it’s worth the risk when Toshiba websites stock a multitude of replacements.

If you have an opinion on the matter and can give Icarus unambiguous advice then follow this link the Calgarypuck forum now!
