Troubleshooting a laptop with a non-stock AC adapter

Hello everyone.


While troubleshooting a laptop's malfunctioning issue, what is/are the prime factor(s) to consider while attempting to diagnose with a different (non-stock) AC adapter? Illustratively, my HP Pavilion g6-1014sa laptop has malfunctioned, and relatedly, its stock AC adapter's electrical ratings are - 65W, Output: 18.5V and 3.5A.


Is it advisable to use an AC adapter of another/different laptop brand?

Just one thing.....output voltage should be same.

I was able to borrow two Dell AC adapters; with the pin shape and size that would eventually fit my HP laptop's charging port. Unfortunately, both AC adapters' output voltage is 19.5V.

After much inquiries and subsequent requests, I have been able to borrow from a family friend's acquaintance, the AC adapter of an HP Pavilion laptop; belonging to the g6 series. However unfortunately, the output voltage of the AC adapter is 19.0V.


Could anyone confirm, if HP India's customer support service helpline number is indeed, 1800 425 4999?

First of all, recently many buyers of this platform at TDF has faced issues and problems while purchasing from Snpdeal. And in this case you are ready to shell in Rs.53k so be careful.

Secondly,why don't you search at Flipkart?

Thirdly,you will get similar to same specs of Laptop from Lenovo or HP or DELL at a lower price from Flipkart.Search extensively.

In fact some of our good Tech enthusiasts and geeky friends has opened a Lenovo Club unofficially(no pun intended and no offence please also don't treat with sarcasm )from whom you will get very true and real help about purchasing a laptop.It will be beneficial for you in future also.

Don't get swayed away by mere looks only on a notebook,always go by specs. and functioning/performance...

Tried to replace the thermal paste on dad's Dell N5110, 2 of the 5 screws which keep heatsink attached to the mobo didn't even budge.

Tried it again today, still couldn't open them.
All efforts in vain.

Can anybody tell how to unscrew them?
Its getting serious now. Temperatures are reaching 85* C while playing Arkham Asylum and PES 2015.

I had the same issue with my 7520
dude dont use that screwdriver anymore
for tight screws like that,buy a brand new sealed one with the "teeth" or whatever its called,intact
i ruined 2 screws on my laptop that way and got it out with great difficulty and now keep one of those screws a bit loose just in case
if you still have no luck,try a proper technician ,if you try too hard,you might cause permanent damage

btw if you succeed,your temps will drop drastically,N5110 and 7520 body etc is very similiar
mine doesnt cross 71c now even with skyrim on high

Finally was able to open it up and the thermal paste was completely dried. Replaced it, but still the idle temps are above 50

Haven't checked the temps while gaming as I just finished assembling it back.

The TIM I used is good enough to bring temps of my R61 down from 53-55 to 40-42 at idle.

gaming laptops will run a bit hotter
maybe its because of climate or the hardware,dunno which
either way,mine also runs at 55-60c idle now
no issues at all

also have you cleaned out the old dried paste first?before putting more

N5110 isnt'a gaming laptop by any means, it has gt 525m

yes, I cleaned the dried paste completely using acetone (nail polish remover). It serves as a good replacement for isopropyl alcohol.

Thinking of getting Noctua NT-H1 next month and see if it makes any difference.

Anything below 100 is fine I guess.

Heavy duty games do make your laptop a cooking pan

I live in hyd and my brand new y50 goes up to 85 on fc4 due to high ambient temps.

yep y50 and y510p do run a bit hot otherwise also
mine doesnt cross 74c at all anymore
my friends y510p runs at 80c when gaming

as long as its within 95c you wont have any issues with lag etc
