    Hi,

    I'm currently restoring a Z830-10U I acquired, which had various parts missing, broken screen, chassis damage etc.

    I will be using it on my travels and the weight of this machine is certainly appealing.

    So far so good, but I am currently using an Asus 19v 3.42a PSU from another laptop to charge it.

    I've spent some time looking for a suitable charger on ebay, I believe it needs a 45w PSU, but these seem to be quite large, physically.

    Could I use a 40w PSU with this, the NB200 - NB305 PSU is quite small and seems like a good match for the ultra light z830.

    Will I have problems using this PSU?

    Thanks.
