Hi,

IF the voltage rating is the same, the output in current (most likely in milliamps or ma) of the adapter is relatively inconsequential as long as it's at least what the Discman originally required, or a bit higher.

For instance, if the Discman requires 6 volts at 250 milliamps (250 ma) and you have a 6 volt adapter that has 475 ma. available, you should be able to run your Discman off of it with very little problem.

Also be sure that the different adapter has the same polarity at the plug as the original though, or it could be catastrophic.

Hope this helps,

How much do disc jockey's get paid?

Dj's can earn about £80-£200 a night In the US, the normal pay for a disc jockey can range from just above minimum wage to over $1500 per night depending on many factors. Disc jockeys that work by the hour at a radio station or club typically get paid less than mobile disc jockeys. Disc jockeys in large cities typically get paid more than disc jockeys in small cities. Of course, disc jockeys who are good and build a good reputation get paid the premium rates.


What is string efficiency?

Can you plug headphones into electric guitars?

Most guitars no however you can plug them into an amp and plug the guitar in. NO you can't and i would not even try!! You could plug them into the amp though!! The above person is semi correct. For a typical guitar you would have to go through some sort of device (such as an amp) in order to provide power to the headphones, however I have a guitar that I can plug my headphones directly into the audio jack by using an adapter to get the 1/4inch(i think that's right) guitar jack into a 3.5mm jack(used by most headphones) as my guitar has a built in preamp. Please note this is a custom ordered guitar that I am using.

Will a dc power cord from a Compaq V2000 work on a Compaq nc6220?

All power adapters have to match the Wattage, Voltage and Amps exactly. So you have to look on the adapter on both of the power adapters and see if they match. If you use a power adapter that has more power than is needed you will fry the motherboard so be carefull. The wattage, voltage and amps are on the adapter..

What does the magnetic DC connector do in the Apple power adapter?

When you used a power adapter from a Dell Inspiron 8600 in a Dell Inspiron E1505 but now will not stay on for more than 2 minutes how do you fix it?

It's very risky to connect a power adapter from other models. There are at least two choices, you have burned power control in your laptop or you have burned the power adapter (it might get to hot and then it turns itself off).


Can 9V 1A adapter be used for 12V 1A speakers?

No. If it works at all, it will be underpowered, and possibly damage the speakers. To power 12V speakers, you have to have an adapter with EXACTLY 12V (no more, no less), and at least 1A. You could hook up a 12V 4A adapter if you wanted to, your speakers would just only draw 1A of power. Make sure you use a 12V adapter though!!


How many discs do you have to download to download the Sims?

Whatever came in the box when you bought it. Probably one disc. If it's more, it will label each disc with its number: "Disc 1... Disc 2..." and so on. Most likely, only two. But if you only needed the one, then the Disc will not be labeled with a number like that.


Can a Hp scanner with a non functioning power adapter with an output of 12 volts dc 1.25a be replaced with an adapter with output 16v dc 1.3a?

You give it more volts and it will burn out something!!


Can a 100 mA adapter be substituted with a 200 mA adapter?

A 9V 1A adapter will supply up to 9 Watts of power and a 9V 200mA adapter delivers up to 1.8W of power. The 200mA adaptor may not be able to supply enough power to a device that has been supplied with a 1A adapter. The 1A adaptor should operate equipment that originally used a 200mA adapter. Before using a different power supply, check that the outputs are both DC or both AC. If they are both DC, it is important to check that the polarity at the connector is the same for both. If AC and DC supplies are swapped or the polarity is swapped there is a risk that the equipment will be damaged.
