On your old Laptop Adapter there will usually be a part number printed on the label. This part number is what the manufacturers use to identify exactly which power supply is being used on your laptop. The part number will tell those in the know the type of adapter, the size of the tip and how the output power is rated. For instance, a Compaq 293787-001 Laptop Power Supply will lead you to a charger that has the smaller yellow tip, size 5.5mm x 2.5mm and with a power output of 19V and 4.74A
So as you can see, when searching by part number you can identify the correct replacement pretty easily. When you visit www.laptop-power.com you can use your old laptop charger part number in our search function to lead you direct to the right part without having to guess the make and model number of your laptop. From here, the order process is simple and in moments you can successfully order a brand new adapter for continued laptop powering.

Your Laptop Adapter works by converting the power from the plug socket into a power output that is more suitable for use on your laptop. This means that the high voltage coming from your power supply at the wall is lowered to a safe output of usually around 19v. With this lower power your laptop will not be damaged by the high voltage straight from the wall. Unfortunately if you purchase a cheap Sony Laptop Charger that is not up to the usual standards it could cause problems further down the line.
It is not unheard of for poor quality replacements to burn out your motherboard if certain components fail, causing too much power to surge through the board and cause irreparable damage. Sometimes shorts can occur between the charger and the charging socket. The heat can build up here, damaging the socket, the motherboard to which it is attached and can even melt the plastics surrounding the socket. If you want to avoid these problems, buy from Laptop Power where we never compromise on quality.

You may have had your laptop tucked away unused for a while. When you connected it to the power it may not have powered on. You might have thought that it was broken and you would need to buy a new laptop. The truth is, many people throw away their laptop thinking that is is faulty when in fact the problem is just a faulty Laptop Adapter. You may not know how to check if your laptop adapter is faulty or not but you can test it at home. If you have a laptop from the same manufacturer try the adapter in that. If it doesn’t power that laptop either it may indicate a problem.
Some adapters have indicator lights built into them so if this is not lit then a replacement will be needed. Luckily there are replacements suitable for your Sony, HP or Acer and many more here at Laptop Power. If you want to get your laptop working again without having to buy a brand new machine then we will be able to help you with a brand new power supply with a 12 month guarantee.

There are a plethora of on-line sellers all saying that they supply quality parts at prices a slow as $10. But can something so cheap really be as good as it cracks up to be? In general, the original Laptop Chargers are by far the best quality available. These replacement power supplies will be strong, sturdy, made from the correct specification parts and should have a long warranty.
If an original is not available then Laptop Power USA recommends an OEM replacement. These will not have the original manufacturer label on them but will still be of the same standard. Amongst the OEM manufacturers are the likes of Delta Electronics, AcBel and Hipro. These names actually manufacture chargers for people like Sony, Toshiba and HP.
If you cannot find a replacement that meets these high standards, then always look for a charger that has a long 12 month warranty. If you see a very cheap adapter with a short 3 month guarantee then it may be wise to avoid it as before long you may find yourself looking for a new one yet again. For help, why not speak to one of our team by calling us or sending us an email.

A laptop will have a specific power requirement from it’s Laptop Adapter. This will be displayed as the output in volts and amps. You will be able to check the output requirements by looking on the label of the original charger that came with the laptop or on a label on the base of the laptop. If you multiply the volts by the amps the resulting figure will also tell you the wattage of the charger. So 19V multiplied by 3.42 = 65W.
This should help you when looking for a replacement. It is always best to match the replacement laptop chargers’ output to the requirements of the laptop, however it is not always necessary. Laptop Power USA recommend you never use a laptop charger this is underpowered but a slightly overpowered adapter will be OK. For instance, some Toshiba Laptop Chargers are 19V 3.9A. In this instance it would be OK to use a laptop charger that is 19V 4.74A. This slightly higher Ampage will not affect the laptop. Fro further advice why not call us or drop us an email.
