    Ok
    so I have been experiencing that my PC shuts down when I am using Nvidia GPU...however it's fine when using inter HD graphic card.
    Make the story short....asked Sager service, they told me that probably I need to use 120W ac adapter.
    I bought in Indonesia and the supplier gave me 90W adapter..so obviously need to get bigger AC adapter.
    Thinking to buy directly from sager... the shipping cost to Japan is USD 136, plus adapter cost USD 76.. total USD 200 plus... Finally never really bother to find the solution because rarely using the laptop, and I can live with inter HD card....
    However recently my 90w Adapter is having problem with the cable and I need to find replacement.

    Question.
    1. Cant find original AC adapter here in Japan. But can I use similar AC adapter for other brand? Eg. Lenovo or Toshiba. I think as long as the spec Voltage 19V, 6,32A or greater
    And PIN connector is same 5.5mm x 2.5mm.

    2. I have another laptop that use ac adapter 19V 6.32A but connector PIN is different. Can I just use 5.5mm x 2.5mm pin converter instead?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. You might be able to get away with an AC adapter that's not the OEM one for your make and model, but it's generally not advised (and not advised you use a generic, universal one either).

    2. Pretty much the same answer as 1. Sometimes you can make another adapter work, but it's hit or miss and not recommended.

    The 120w would be your safest option, though I understand that getting it from a supplier outside of Japan will likely result in a high shipping & handling expense.

    Yeah, I found one at computer shop near my house. Same spec as my current adaptor
    19V, 6.32A, Positive polarity.
    And connector pin also match.

    It's for Lenovo. Guess all Taiwanese makers use similar parts....
