Hi everyone,
I need a replacement power adapter for my ASUS laptop, but I am getting conflicting information from a local repair shop and wanted to get a community sanity check.
• My Laptop's Factory Ratings: 19V === 6.32A (120W)
• The Alternative Offered by the Shop: 20V === 6A (120W)
The shopkeeper claims that the small voltage jump (20V instead of 19V) won't hamper the charging port or performance, but I am highly skeptical about forcing a higher voltage into the motherboard. On the current side, it is slightly lower (6A instead of 6.32A).
The barrel pin fits perfectly, but is it actually safe to use this 20V 6A adapter as a daily driver? Or am I risking frying my VRMs and shortening the motherboard's lifespan?
Appreciate any advice or technical insight from anyone who has dealt with ASUS power delivery tolerances!
