Hi
Recently a friend of mine got a new adapter for his laptop because the original adapter broke. Since he got it the laptop can't charge while it's running. If the laptop is on and i plug in the charger it has no effect (the laptop doesn't show that it's charging) other than the battery drop slower. If i turn off the laptop it charges but very slowly.
I googled for the laptop specifications and it states that it needs 20v adapter while the one that my friend has is 19v.
Could this be the reason that the batteries are not charging correctly because it worked fine with the original charger and the amps on the new one are slightly more than on the original one.
I thought of checking it with a 20v switching power supply that i have but it’s not for laptops or anything it’s like the one in the photo could it harm the laptop if it try to plug it in?
Thanks
