That makes sense. Thank you

Thank you. I did see it acting a little different. What kills me is that Sears sold it online as the exact adapter for my model and the exact specs. It was half the price of the HP/Compaq original. Will I ever learn or ever trust Sears again? Thanks

The aftermarket adapter has the same voltage but has half the amps. It does charge the laptop while turned off but heats up the adapter a lot and when the laptop is on it will actually run out of power while plugged in. Obviously this is not the ideal adapter but will it damage the laptop?
