    Hi guys, the charger on my sister's S5N died, the adaptor says output 19v (2.64A), I am looking for a replacement ac adaptor, but in the mean time, I have a universal kensington ac adaptor that I use for my W3J (19v, 4.74A). There is a tip that fits the S5N, can she use that temporarily while i look for a correct ac adaptor? The kensington (model 33197) is rated at 12-16v (11A)? It should work right? Any help would be appreciated.

    Also, does anyone know where i can buy a replacement ac adaptor? the only one i've found is on ebay and its from china, will probably take 2wks to receive.

    ps. the battery on the S5N is dead, its always plugged in, so the battery damage is not an issue.

    Yes, it should work as long as the wattage (VxAmp) is equal are greater than the one originally supplied by Asus.
