    Default #4 Can an universal charger damage my copmuter?

    Hi. Pretty long time mI looking closely ot the itdunya.com. I like this forum. I'm not sure is the "Baluchi" right category , but I really need the answer.

    #4 Can an universal charger damage my copmuter?
    My charger that came with my hp pavillion laptop died on me early last year so i brought a new hp charger on ebay. However unfoirtunatey that died just this week. So of cousre i have to replace it, this time though I've decided that maybe instead of buying one on ebay (all of the ones that i can find that can be used with my laptop are questionable in temrs of their authenticity) that maybe i should just buy a universal charger in stores. However a long time ago i ermember redaing that universal chargers can sometimes admage your laptop. is that true??

    Yes "some" universal chargers can damage your Laptop mainly because with most of them the voltage may not be regulated, so a setting of say 19v could actually be outputting even up-to 30v, or if the current output is not powerful enough this will then burn-out the adapter.

    However there are "Smart" adaptors that regulate the correct voltage that your system requires.
