    After 2 years the AC power on my HP Zd7000 broke down so i had to order a new one from HP from the shop where
    i brought it. I had to wait 2 months before it arived.

    When i finaly got the AC is not even official it say "UPOWERS EAH202B "
    Shouldnt i be getting a Official AC power?

    In the shop i was told is was "Official " since i got it through a Official suplier even that it says
    Upowers on the AC power.

    BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM:

    When i got home i see the even the power is different from mine.

    The HP ac power that broke down had:
    INPUT : 100/240V 1.5 A
    OUTPUT: 19.V
    135 W

    On the new one it says:
    AC INPUT: 100-240v - 2.5A
    OUTPUT: 18-24 6.0 A
    120 W MAX

    Hey, using a 120W ac power on a 135W pc is not that a Problem?
    Cant the PC burn the acpower or can i get problem charing the battery (like lesser battery time) ?

    Problem is Changing it is not that easy either
    since i got it covered by a innsurance i have in the shop
    meaning if chaning it (if they does want to change it) i have to spend hours filling out
    new insurance papers for this change, and maybe waiting 2 more months for another Ac power ):

    Can anyone please let me know if is Totaly safe to use this Ac power to my Zd7000 .

    Please i need an urgent answer to this
    in case i have to go change it.

    I hope the 5 minuts they was testing it in the shop
    didnt do something to my zd7000 .
