    Would there be a problem with the battery or the ac adapter charger if I use my laptop charger which belongs to a Hp dv2000 Special Edition, on a dv2000 which is not special edition. Both are the same size, and have the same laptop adapter, but does the ac adapter of a special edition differ in any way?

    Most likely they are the same computer system
    But to be sure,
    look at both power adaptors, and see if their voltage output and amerage values are the same
    If both of them output the same voltage and amperage, you can use either power supply you like.

    As long as it fits it will work if you have a 65 watt adapter it wont fit in a 90 watt laptop. Only laptops with dedicated graphics cards have 90 watt's
