So my charger died the other day, but I confirmed it was the charger and not the port. Looking on Amazon though, theres a bunch that say they work with my model number, but have higher Amps and Watts than what my laptop say. Would those still work with my laptop or nah?

IE: my laptop says 19V, 2.37A and 45W, but some of the chargers have higher A/W but say they work with my model.

wat do. Most of the ones that have the same A/W have reviews that say they run hot, so its why Im asking.

In theory, a laptop should only draw however much it needs. However, if the charger says "this is the output" that is what's being fed in to your laptop. If it's too high, it won't be safe.

Time is a funny thing. There is always too much of it, except when you need it the most. Then there is never enough.

IIRC, the voltage of the two should match, but the amperage of the AC adapter just needs to be at least as high as the required amperage of the device.
