AC Adapter for HP NC8430

I'm looking to replace my HP nc8430 laptop. It seems that something may have jiggled loose in the adapter.

I've been looking on eBay, and there are a lot of AC adapters on there. I'm a little confused though. The AC adapter I have is 90W with a HP part number 384021-001. When searching on eBay, all of the AC adapters that indicate they are for a HP nc8430 are 65W adapters. Can I use a 65W adapter for the HP nc8430? Is this the right adapter?

Also, I found an adapter that has the same part number (384021-001) as the adapter that came with my computer and is a 90W adapter, but it doesn't say it's for a nc8430. Should this be the adapter I get?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Did you try HP Parts Store on the Internet? Usually they have the parts for your laptop.

Also you need to look for the right adapter with your model number of laptop because the listing show so many on the website.

You need the 90W. 65W is usually for smaller laptops that aren't as power hungry
