Toshiba satellite S70-B -00Q (PSPPNC-00Q00N) laptop AC adapter broke, (Adapter model: PA5181U-1ACA; 120 W 19V 6.32A),
Would another AC adapter model such as ( PA3290U-3ACA 120W 19V 6.32 A) be compatible ?
 
Solution
The plug is the only thing that could be different, both are 5,5x2,5 but the PA5181U-1ACA has a "Tuning Fork" connector and the PA3290U-3ACA is looking like a barrel connector (DC in this picture). But not sure, because couldn´t find a picture of it till now

Voltage and polarity has to be like your old one
Amperage/wattage can be more but not less
the connector has to be a 5,5x2,5 tuning fork
