Forgot my power supply for my T60P will a dell one work?

Hi I forgot my power supply will a dell one (inspiron I think) work for my thinkpad T60P?

 

I dont think so. Does the plug look similar? I dont think it will fit inside and even if it does be carefull about the voltage. I would advice you not to even try.

 

Please don't even think of sticking that inside ur T60P, the voltage might make the T60p gooo bye bye. Just like wave said, NOOOO trying!

The dell power supplys are 19.5 Volts at 3.2 Amps on the output side. I'll bet the Lenovo is the same... it's the exact same as the Toshiba notebooks also. You might have to get a plug adapter or fit it with a different size plug to get it to plug in.

 

This would be my suggestion, too. I wouldn't mess around and take the risk. It isn't worth ruining a notebook over.

 

Get ready to bury Your THINKPAD. Don't try it. My t60 uses a 20V 90 watt adapter if it doesn't match identically don't evn think about using another one. It wil fry your mobo or screen a soon as you turn it on. Trust me I got experience.

 

All things considered, it's probably best not to try it. However, having said that, check the bottom of your laptop. Mine is an X41 and it states that the plug in power supply is 16V & 3.5 amps which is exactly same as the figures quoted on the actual plug in power supply. Also, the polarity of the plug in power supply is suppose to be the same as labelled on your IBM power supply. If you look at the port you plug your charger into, you should see the polarity. The symbol in the center should look like the letter "C" and the open end points to the correct polarity. On mine, it's positive and MAY be the same on all laptops.

If all of the figures match up, I would probably give it a shot IF I need to use my laptop. If the "tip" doesn't match up, you're probably out of business right out of the blocks. I would try plugging the tip into the laptop without the other end of the power supply plugged into a A/C to see if it did fit before plugging the "juice" into the laptop.

In the future, if this ever happens again, a nice option to have either in your computer bag or in your car is a DC charger cord. If your battery is getting low, you can plug into your vehicle cigarette light and recharge your battery. I think I bought mine on eBay for about $20. I hardly ever use it, but it's nice to have (especially when I'm on the road.)

No guts, no GLORY!
