    I just got the new G53sx in replacement for the faulty G53sw but I still use the SW's charger. As I read, gtx460m consumes 72W while the gtx560m consumes 75W, so I wonder if the SW's charger brings enough power for the new G53sx.
    And the other thing, my old G53sw came with UL powercord while the new G53sx came with CEE powercord, as I know UL is the US standard and CEE is the European one, is there any more detail about this I should be aware of ?
    Thanks everyone :eek:

    well, i swapped my G53SW charger for an older G51jx charger. I managed to match the specs.

    Its been 3 months. No hiccups.

    As long as the voltage, max amperage and tip match, you're good to go. The adapter for the G7x is actually the same across all models if i recall correctly.
