Is this AC Adapter ok for an HP EliteBook 8540w I just picked up?
Is this AC Adapter ok for an HP EliteBook 8540w I just picked up?
--- Are there better choices I can look into?
I’m using the 19Vdc 4.74A as a guide based on the battery compartment information which I suppose is really for the battery if there was one in it.
According the HP manual the AC Adapter P/N is 693712-001 & replaces whatever the original PN is but the manufacturer’s PN isn’t included in the charger buy’s company information.
In the additional info section, it states
“Attention! Please make sure the part will match your laptop. If there is no central smart-pin in the connector of your original AC Adapter, please stop bidding this item.” I don’t know how to determine that because I don’t have the original AC Adapter. In the connection port of the laptop I do see a gray central receptive section that an HP AC Adaptor cord I’m using accepts the center pin, but I don’t know if that is a central smart-pin. If it is it appears to me I shouldn’t have a problem ordering this unit.
