    T61 4:3 & Wide Screen model's AC adapter can be interchangeable?

    I have a 14.1 4:3 T61 and a 15.1 Wide Screen T61.

    Both have discrete display card.

    But I don't know if their AC Adapter can be interchangeable to use or not.

    thx

    Check the underside of the adapters. If the output voltage and max current are the same, they should be interchangeable.

    You know look at it this way... there are not multiple power devices for each device dependimg on screen size. That should be a clue;

    All T61 uses the same power connector at the laptop side. Only thing different is the watts.

    Check the labels on your adapters, as long as they are both 90W 20V, you are good.

    Yes will work fine. I have a WS and NS T61. Interchange the adaptors all the time. One is lighter than the other.
