Hi Guys
Ok my 19 volt power adaptor is no longer safe to use as the cable has worn at the laptop connection.I have a 24 volt Xbox power supply the end connector is the same size but not the same output it's 24 volt and not the same as the laptops @ 19 volt.Could I use it or NOT? and if I can would their be any issues with using it?.
I await your knowledgeable replies guys.
Thanks
Paul

I would say not, you will end up over volting your charging circuit for your battery and possibly causing damage.
Try maplins for a replacement charger or try Ebay, just be careful of the cheap chinese ones.

A higher wattage *usually* isn't an issue, but a higher voltage would be.
Best be is google the spec of your laptop and you might find there is a range for the input (say 18v-24v) so you could use it.
