    Oh man I am in freak out mode. My sager np8150 (xoticpc) AC adapter just completely melted down tonight. I've let it sit and cool off and what not put the thing is dead (and I can hear something shaking inside it.

    Long story short I use my laptop for work and it is absolutely urgent that I get a replacement adapter today. With tomorrow being Memorial Day and today being Sunday I'm betting I'm f-d.

    However if anyone here has an idea I'm desperate for any help. Ty all in advance

    Local listing services or any shop selling a psu with 19v and a 5.5mm x 2.5mm tip, even a lower rated one will do (down to 120w) if you make sure the gpu is never spooled up fully.

    Excuse the lack of knowledge but when you say spooled up fully what does that mean and how do I ensure it doesn't happen.

    All he means is if you get a lower rated PSU than stock, don't try to game or do anything that maxes out the laptop until you get a sufficient power supply for it. You can use a lower wattage PSU in a pinch, but you should get stock or better if planning to run CPU and GPU at max.

    Looks like it lists a 2.5mm x 5.5 mm here - RHINO

    Since your machine is not optimus you can't force the card to remain idle so you need to make sure you don't make it do anything manually.
