And a monster sized brick it is. <BR /><BR />I have inherited a brick which runs at 15v and 3.5A and is much smaller. <BR /><BR />What happens if I plug that into my laptop? Will I be able to use it, but charge the battery more slowly? Or will it not work at all? Or will it screw up my laptop?<BR /><BR />Advice please<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:11:09 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113671#M87482 marzipan99 2006-11-01T20:11:09Z Re: Power supply question https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113672#M87483 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Probably won't be man enough to run the machine.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 21:57:04 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113672#M87483 Twisted-Rizla 2006-11-01T21:57:04Z Re: Power supply question https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113673#M87484 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>But no threat in plugging it in and trying?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 23:14:40 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113673#M87484 marzipan99 2006-11-01T23:14:40Z Re: Power supply question https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113674#M87485 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Only to your warranty.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 02 Nov 2006 07:14:25 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113674#M87485 Twisted-Rizla 2006-11-02T07:14:25Z Re: Power supply question https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113675#M87486 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Right... is that a serious answer, meaning No?

The power supply will probably overheat and potentialy catch fire. If the polarity of the plugs are different then you will kill the notebook. <BR /><BR />The power supply which came with your computer is big because it has to be big in order to supply the power that your laptop consumes as well as charge the battery.<BR /><BR />Definitely not a good idea to try the other power supply.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 02 Nov 2006 09:55:35 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113676#M87487 robpaxton 2006-11-02T09:55:35Z Re: Power supply question https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113677#M87488 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Rob is right, PLEASE do NOT do it.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:50:47 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/power-supply-question/m-p/113677#M87488 kee-lo_ 2006-11-02T16:50:47Z
