Hp 8510p AC Adapter

Ok sorry for all the threads and questions, but I have to be sure.

I have 3 AC Adapters for my V6Va, and I've posted a picture of what it looks like. I want to know if this is the same kind of one that the HP 8510p uses, so that I don't have to buy more adapters.

Thanks

 

Umm, all the heads of those adaptors look exactly alike. There's a millimeter difference between the dozens of different heads.

 

Yea but this is a very common adapter. It worked on my friends Thinkpad and it works on an old HP laptop I owned like 7 years ago. That's why I have so many...

 

You got to watch the output of the adapter. The output voltage and current is what you should check. If the output on your V6 adapter matches that of the 8510 adapter you should be okay.

If its supplying too much voltage you can damage the circuitry in the notebook and if there isn't enough voltage you obviously will have less power being delivered to the components which could lead to the notebook not turning on or under performing (more likely scenario).

EDIT: Wouldn't you get an AC Adapter anyways with the new notebook? Unless you want 2 adapters for some reason.

Yea I need 2 or 3, one for home, one for dorm, and one spare for comfort...

 

1. The input range would be the same for pretty much any standard power device.

2. You lose out on any signals that are in the 47-50 and 60-63 Hz range. Important? Not sure but it will have a negative effect, not sure on the magnitude though.

3. You will be supplying too much power and current to components. Too much power results on greater wear on components and greater heat. Again, unsure on the magnitude. Worst case scenario, something sets on fire (or explodes). Not likely though but this is the biggest risk since the voltage supply is higher than standard.

4. You're adapter may have different over-voltage protection, meaning it either will shut down before it reaches acceptable limits (which is okay for the most part) or it will shut down after it reaches limits (which may damage components again).

5. The adapter comes in 2 parts. The connector is the part without the brick. What it means is its just a standard 3 pronged plug (the ground is the 3rd, rounded pin). Mates with interchangeable cords means that you can use any connector cable that fits.

My advice would be no, do not use that V6 adapter. It will work, and probably without any problems (almost definitely will work), but if there are problems down the road it's you're own fault.

 

thank you, very helpful

 

The AC adapter for my 8510p looks like it's bigger than the one posted. It's about the diameter of a mechanical pencil. Or if you have a trackpoint, it's about as wide as that.

 

Hahaha...then I guess its a moot point then. No point wondering if the adapter will damage the laptop if the DC connector doesn't even fit!
