“What kind of charger do I need for my laptop?”
Determining what kind of charger you need for your laptop can be a tricky query. Thankfully, with the technology currently in place, it is much easier to find a solution.
If the laptop charger has the same voltage and the same pin connections as your original charger, you will more than likely be safe to use it and it will be compatible with your computer.
Three Steps to Finding Your Laptop Charger
1. Identify what type of laptop you have.
2. Use the model number on your laptop and search your brand’s website for the correlating charger. You can find the model number by clicking on My Computer >> Properties >> System tab. Within the System tab you will find the model type. If you have a Mac, click the upper left hand apple icon and click About this Mac. Then click More Info >> System Report. There you will find the model type. Using the model information, a quick Google search will direct you to your charger.
3. Now that you know what to look for, purchase your charger and get your computer running again!
