    I have a 2011 Idea Pad V 570 and have managed to mess up the adapter. I HAD a 'universal' adapter from Best Buy for it, but when I last had work done on the computer the guys told me that it wasn't a good idea to use that one, since it was 65 watts and the computer 90. I've messed up the one I got from them (Note: Don't use plugged in laptop on recliner if cord can get caught in mechanism). I hope that's the only problem I have at this point (it wasn't charging yesterday, then just died, but it was badly crimped) but before I look at a new one, or order one, I'd like to know what, exactly, I'm looking at in a 90 watt. I keep finding variations. Help?

    Thanks!
