    Hello All,

    I suspect that my M11x R1 power brick has died and I am wondering if it is possible/safe to try my M17x R3 power brick to see if it works. I would like to see if it will boot the computer and charge the battery.

    Thanks

    Check the spec. If polarity, volts, & amps are the same it will very likely work well. I'm using an old E1705 power supply on my R1 when in the office.

    It is not the same voltage, it could cause issues. Better not to. If you need a replacement Adapter please send us an e-mail to [email protected] and we will get back to you ASAP.
