The computer may not be able to startfrom an AC adaptor that is rated for less current(amperage) than the computer requires, even if the ratedvoltage is correct, and the plug fits correctly in the DC-INsocket. The labels on the bottom of the computer andthe AC adaptor show the specifications for voltage (“V”)and current (“A”) for each device. The voltage level mustmatch exactly. The amperage rating of the AC adaptormust be equal to or greater than that required by thecomputer.
