Hey, all!

So I just bought a new power cord for my laptop, a Luxa one that has a bunch of different attachments that allow it to supply power to any laptop. On the back, there is a color code to tell you which one to use.

Thing is, the one they said was supposed to be for mine, didn't work...but another one did.

Should I be concerned about this for any reason at all?

Thank you all in advance for your time!
 
Solution
I don't trust color codes, I trust volts and amp (or watt).

Volts should be within +/- 0.5

Amp/Watt should be what the original was labeled for, or more would be OK, but not less.
