I bought a HP DV6z Quad Edition laptop. It came with a AC Adapter, HP Part No. 608428-005. I needed a replacement, so I contacted HP to replace it; so they ask for my HP Spare #, which was stated on the AC Adapter, " Replace With Spare: 609940-001" (whenever it needs to be replaced).
I received the shipment today, however, in the box, it was a " HP Part No. 608428-001" with a same description, " Replace With Spare: 609940-001".
Is this the right replacement? for the HP Part No. 608428-005

{Factory-came in the box}
HP Part No. 608428-005. " Replace With Spare: 609940-001"
INPUT:100-240V~ 1.6A 50/60Hz
OUTPUT:19.0V=4.74A 90W Max.

HP Part No. 608428-001. " Replace With Spare: 609940-001"
INPUT:100-240V~ 1.5A(1,5A) 50-60Hz
OUTPUT:19V(19V)=4.74A(4,74A)
90W
*Exactly as written on adapter*

Yip the same nothing to worry about.
-
Can you elaborate on it? Like how is it the same when I clearly see that the amp in the input is different...
Will this fry my motherboard? harm my dv6z?
Thanks for replying.. -
The input is what the adapter itself is getting from the outlet. The output is what the laptop will receive. For the laptop, it will be as if the power adapters were the same since both adapters have the same exact output.

Apparently the converter is a bit more efficient compared to original model (needs less AC amps to produce same DC watts). Yours is a QE? With a 90W adapter? Does it also have the added graphics card?
Because mine is a 35W A8-3500M + Radeon 6750M, and it came with:
608426-001 (replace with 609941-001)
Input 120-240v, 50-60Hz, 2.0A
Output 18.5v, 6.5A (120W)
There is a very SMALL chance that they originally gave you a weaker adapter but Windows should have warned that it wasn't providing enough power if that were the case. Anyone else have feedback RE which models SHOULD have the 90W, and which the 120W? I thought it was related to the discrete graphics....? -
My tiny A4-3300M APU came with a 120w, and so did the i7-2630QM, both units are near the same GPU.
Therefore I believe it maybe like this, going on GPU size:
67XXM = 120w
64XXM = 90w
Intergated graphics = 65w -
A reasonable theory....but does the OP have expanded graphics?
-
not sure if its got expanded graphics...

What's your computer's exact model number? (DV6-XXXX).
-
*its a quad edition AMD. -
Start->All Programs->AMD->System Monitor->System Monitor.
(or just type sys and it'll probably be the first result)
This is a nice tool, it shows the conflict level between CPU and IGP. It shows the CPU load as a multicolor bar. If you have two graphics chips, there will be two GPU bars. (In my case it says "AMD Radeon HD 6755G2/AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6620G/AMD Radeon HD 6750M") It also shows a graphic summary of your memory use. -
The model DV6-2100 is still a series of computers with vary different hardware configurations. I guess what calc_yolatuh suggest is a good start to find out your graphics cards. Alternatively if you can't find system monitor you can right click on your desktop, then Graphics Properties, then on the lower left corner go to Information, then Hardware, in the widow to the right it should show a "Primary Adapter," if you have dual graphics it will also show a "Linked Adapter" on the bottom. Give that a try.

It's extra steps and not directly related to your adapter question...UNLESS you were supposed to have a bigger adapter in the first place. Because the replacement could burn out too.
DV6z AC Adapter...are these the same? Amps?
