    What other AC Adapter can I use for this machine? Is it similar to any big-brand AC adapter? HP? Leveno?

    AFAIK, the two use the same AC Adapter from Lite On. honestly, i didn't even know they manufactured AC Adapters but they make good CD-Drives so im not too worried. they just get really warm is all.

    Thanks! I wondering what is the tip is similar to. I have a MSI MS-1013 (S270), and have found out that my old Compaq AC adapter worked on it, so I was wondering if it is the same with the 2090.

    Also, what wattage should it be? I hear that some include a 90w, while others a 120w.

    I recommend buying the adapter through a Sager or Clevo dealer so you know exactly what you are getting. Sager's website does not say what the wattage of the adapter is but I believe it is 90W.
    Like I said though, buy it from a known place. That way you don't have to worry about wattage or things like that.

    Well I serviced a few notebooks, and those that were destined for trash, I still have some of their AC adapters... And since I don't actually have the IFL90 (just ordered today!), I really can't see for myself which tip from the big-names are similar to it.

    I already know it is at least a 90W PSU at 19v (around 3.9W I believe). Now it's about the tip...

    I say "at least 90w because I've seen some vendors bundling 120W PSUs (either that or they are typos).
