Would 65W charger work with my laptop?

[Maurice97]

my laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6 6135DX And it's missing a charger
i've got another HP charger laying around but it's 65Watts and it needs an adapter from 5.5mm/2.5mm to 7.4mm/0.6mm and these are dirt cheap on ebay
will it work or it's risky?

according to this ebay listing https/www.amazon.com/Dv6-6135dx-Dv6-6167cl-Dv7-6154nr-Dv7-6157cl-Dv7-6165us/dp/B00DBRWSWM the charger that came with it was also 65w. you could probably get away with the one you have handy, or you could get a new one designed for your laptop. using a different one won't necessarily cause any issues if it is the right power output.

check the label of the one you have and compare it to the image in the ad i linked. if the voltage is the same, then you should be good to go using it. don't want to mix voltages. would be like using a 9 volt battery in place of a 12v one. or vice versa. not the power the laptop was designed to use. so verify the voltage is the same before using any adapter. if it is not, then you'll need a new charger

it's almost the same apart from the tip and the sticker
Same output and watts!

then i'd say go for it

you can buy generic power bricks at walmart with tons of different tips. they work fine so long as power output is right. so i see no reason this won't work the same way . good luck with it
