Question Replacing laptop charger.

[themeiscool]

Hello I recently lost my hp Omen 15's 200W power brick!! I've been looking for a new one in the market but I haven't been able to find an exact match. I found one that's actually 230W but it works on it just fine. Should I buy it? Or will there be complications for not having an exact match and a higher wattage rating?

Using a higher wattage power adapter, such as a 230W instead of the original 200W for your HP Omen 15, should generally be safe. The laptop will only draw the power it needs, so a higher wattage won't harm the device. Having a higher wattage can provide a safety margin, ensuring stable power delivery. Just ensure the voltage and connector match, and it should work fine without major complications.
