    the ac adapter for my toshiba laptop is 65W 19V 3.42A.
    I buy a generic but I did not realize that said 90W 19V 3.42A.
    I will have a problem with my laptop ?? and what would they be?

    antona90, as long as it has correct connector and polarity, everything's OK. Also, 19V 3.42A is 65W, while 90W is 19V 4.74A.

    It doesn't matter if the PSU has a higher power rating - the computer will only take the power that it needs. The downside is having a slightly bigger brick to carry around.
