Hello, My power cable to ny laptop died. I have an old one to a different computer, same volts, much lower amps. My question is can the old one be used, to charge the laptop overnight. I will not run the laptop on the incorret power cable, only charge the unit over nigh.
 
Solution
If it has the exact same specs with the voltage, and the the input/output set up...
And the power jack is 100% identical, then it may work... It is a risky thing to do. And I would NOT recommend it, but, on paper, it will work.
