I have a Asus G60V laptop of which the soldered low voltage cable (brick to laptop) has compromised shielding / broken wires.
The brick itself has no issues besides the cable being compromised. It's still functional but I don't feel like it's safe.
I want to give this laptop to a relative of mine, who has recently run into a laptop failure and needs a new stationary workstation, which this laptop could easily provide, even if it was just for a couple of years at maximum.
I don't feel confident in my hardware related tinkering skills to replace and solder the low voltage cable, so I'm looking to purchase a new laptop power brick. This is where I've run into some trouble due to requirements of the laptop and my desire to purchase a universal power brick.
The Asus G60V has an input of +19V at 6,3A (120W).
The original power brick is a Delta electronics ADP-120ZB BB Input: 100-240V~ 2.0A 50-60Hz Output: 19V 6.32A
Now of course I've done some prior reading, and I'm well aware that an aftermarket universal power adapter is not an optimal choice. But I believe this laptop has a limited lifespan and therefore I don't feel like an official 60-80 euro adapter is worth the investment.
As far as I understand, It's the most important to get a close voltage match while It's no problem for the supplied amperage to exceed the input requirements, because it will just draw what's required at that moment. With a lack of amperage it would increase the heat generated in the adapter.
Now I know Trust doesn't exactly have the best brand name, but it's the only universal adapter I can find sold in my region which comes close to the requirements.
According to the specifications of the 'Trust universal laptop adapter 120W' EAN: 8713439168914 it supplies 120W with 6A max and has automatic settings for 15, 16, 19 and 20 volts.
Now I'm aware that these specifications don't align with the laptop requirements. But I was wondering if it could work properly. The laptop will only be used for light text processing and some youtube video viewing as the most resource intensive task. Would it be possible to use this adapter without significant risk?
I'd like to hear any advice or recommendations. If there are any other specific (universal) models recommended, please keep in mind that it has to be shipped to western Europe (NL).
