How interchangeable are laptop power supplies? December 20, 2007 3:04 PM Subscribe The amperage rating isn't sufficient (as noted) and it isn't necessarily the same polarity either. You can possibly check if there is a polarity diagram on the adapters. In general, laptop power supplies are not interchangeable. So probably safe and unlikely to catch fire is about the best advice you'll get. posted by chairface at 4:47 PM on December 20, 2007. Thanks; I think I'll just wait and get a new replacement adapter tomorrow-just to be safe.

- The power supply as its name might suggest is the device that supplies power to all the components in the computer. Its case holds a transformer, voltage control, and (usually) a cooling fan. The power supply converts about 100-120 volts of AC power to low-voltage DC power for the internal components to use.

- The power supply needs to be connected to an outlet in order for the computer to function. Use the cable that came with your computer or power supply, and plug it into a three-pronged outlet. To protect your computer against power surges or power outages, consider plugging into a surge protector or battery backup unit.

Find the right power adapter and cable for your Mac notebook Power adapters for Apple notebooks are available in 29W, 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. You should use the appropriate wattage power adapter for your Apple notebook. You can use a compatible higher wattage adapter without issue, but it won't make your computer charge faster or operate differently. Lower wattage adapters will not provide enough power. MagSafe power adapters have three pieces: Connector and adapter, AC cord, and the AC plug or duckhead..

Power supply Power supply. A power supply is an electronic device that supplies electric energy to an electrical load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert one form of electrical energy to and, as a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are discrete, stand-alone devices, whereas others are built into larger devices along with their loads.
