Laptop Power Supply.

by tott132 | January 16, 2017 8:46 PM PST

Hi guys.
My girlfriend gave me an old Dell Inspiron Mini 10 laptop. She lost the power supply, so I picked one up in the thrift store for a buck. The computer calls for 19 volt, the best I could find was 15 volt. It seems to work fine. What is the difference?(besides 4 volts).
I'm not worried about charging the battery, it stopped charging years ago.
Thanks.

The lower than spec could damage the laptop's internal supply. Here I see such on amazon so is it worth so little to risk it?
