- How to match an AC adapter
AC adapters in the Laptop build room are sorted by brand and voltage. Ask your instructor for a tour if you need help!
Find the input voltage and amperage listed on the laptop. This may be printed on the back of the laptop, or under the battery.
Find an AC adapter that matches the voltage and amperage listed on the laptop. You will be looking in the output section printed on the AC adapter:
INPUT: 100-240V~1.9A
50/60Hz
OUTPUT: 16V ⎓ 4.5A
