    Hey guys, just got in my APA05US 180w adapter from Centrix-Intl and instead of having a L1, L2 & L3 tips, it has 2 L2, 1 L3 and no L1 tips included.

    Can anyone confirm which tip number is for use with the G73Jh???

    I can only hope it is the L2... seems to fit, but without technical info on the tips polarity and output I don't want to chance plugging it in to "see if it works".

    Thanks to anyone that confirm if it is the L1 or L2 tip needed for our G73s...

    The L1 is the normal one to use, however the L2 works as well.

    That sucks!

    I hope either Targus or Centrix will make things right by sending me a L1...

    They should. More than likely they will ship you a whole new unit.

    I tried calling for new tips for the APA05US for my new HP Envy 17. The older ones worked for my Gateway P7805-u. Since this has been discontinued from their website a long time ago, I don't think they will give you much support. Please update us if otherwise.

    Yo man. Im getting a targus 180 watt adapter here in a couple days. I get three tips with it. Im going to be using the tip for a gateway p7805u, so if your computer takes one of the other tips, its yours man. this is the only laptop i have and i just need one tip. so if you find out which one you need, and its not the one my laptop needs, then like i said.. its yours.

    The thread's over half a year old... you'd think he solved it by now (or banned in his case XD)
