AC adapter / CC / Elitebook 8730W-can I use 200W safely?

I have a laptop EliteBook 8730w. It comes with an external adapter Smart AC 120 watts to 150 watts.

A friend gave me a 200W power adapter replacement which was originally for the 8740w. It matches my 8730w but is it safe to use as it is of a higher power than the original?

I talked to HP Support and they advised its fine to use the adapter of 200W. Since they are intelligent adapters, they are made to reduce power regardless of the laptop needs. That is, if the laptop is peaks at 150 w or 90W then the adapter will only provide that much.

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

  • How can I use my Satellite A100-233 with adapter only?

    The user guide says that it is not a good idea. And once a month I have to unplug the AC adapter and only work from battery. I use my laptop in one place, so it is easy to use only AC adapter.

    Hi Denis,.

    There is no problem; em with you just by using the a/c adapter if you wish. The reasoning behind the recommendation in the manual is to maintain the battery in optimal condition. To do this he must sometimes fully discharge and then charge again.

    If you do not want to use your laptop on battery alone, then just leave the power adapter attached. This can result in a shorter battery life, but should not be a problem for you since you're using your laptop on AC power.

    Kind regards

  • Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer. Connected battery does not support. Can I use the adapter of a computer Dell Inspiron 630 M laptop?

    In the last 2 days I had a problem as indicated in the title of this post. The fault corrected itself 3 times, but still, it's back to "plugged in, not load.» I use the laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium; 32-bit) on the card without problem, I assume that the card itself is not defective.

    I also have a Dell Inspiron 630 M laptop running Windows 7.  Can I use this card with the laptop of Vista, without causing damage to the Vista?  If it is safe to do so, and begins to charge the battery on Vista, this would indicate that the Vista adapter/charger has a kind of fault.

    Hoping someone can give me some advice. Thank you.

    Could be - or it could be the power supply.  See if the other card gives a link more solid.  If so, this is the plug of the adapter.  If it isn't, the decision-making within the system.
