I am currently using an universal adapter. The adapter has output range from 12-20V. My laptop uses 19V. The adapter comes with various sized tips that can be used. Initially i was using a yellow tip. That got messed up a bit. Now i was wondering if i can use the black tip the provided since it fits in the power input of my laptop? Is it safe to do this? The tip specifies 18V-18.5V-19V. Size 11.
 
Solution
If it fits, turns the machine on, and doesn't easily come loose, it's alright. The connectors are really just two wires. Be sure to use the 19V setting.
