What else can I help you with?
Is it ok to use a 4.5v 800mA AC adapter for a device when the original adapter is supposed to be 4.5V 500mA - will it damage the device?
Yes. As long as the voltage is the same which it is. The 800mA is the capacity that the transformer can produce safely without going into an overload state. Your original adapter was rated at 500mA which means that what ever device was plugged into it draws less that 500mA. You might notice that the new adapter is slightly physically larger. So you are safe to use the new adapter with the higher rating.
Will a 6v 2.2a adapter damage a device that requires a 5v 2.5a adapter?
Yes it will
Will a 5V 2.5A adapter damage a device that requires a 6V 2A adapter?
No, underpowering will not "power" the device, it will not run. You must get an adapter that is 6V and (2A or higher) will be ok as well.
Can a 5.3volt adapter be substituted for a 4.5 volt adapter?
No the higher voltage could damage the device connected to it.
What will happen if you block a disk drive cable in backward?
damage the device, motherboard, or adapter.
What if I Used wrong ac adapter in electronic device?
If the AC adapter gives too little voltage, the electronic device will probably not work. If it gives too high a voltage, you will probably burn out the electronic device, which will have to be replaced or rewired. If the AC adapter is too weak (provides less milli-amperes than the device needs), the AC adapter can burn out. In summary, you need to check: (a) that the adapter should have the correct voltage, and (b) that it provides the required amount of milliamperes (or more) for the device.
Can you use a 300mA adaptor on a 1A device?
Yes, you can use a 300mA adapter on a 1A device, but it may not work properly or could damage the adapter. The device may draw more current than the adapter can provide, leading to insufficient power, potential overheating, or failure of the adapter. It's always best to use an adapter that meets or exceeds the device's current requirements for optimal performance and safety.
What would happen if you used a 19V 3.16Amp power adapter on something that called for a 12V 3Amp power adapter power supply?
You would overload and damage the device and/or the adapter.
Is it ok to use a 8V 650mA AC adapter for a cordless phone when the original adapter is supposed to be 9V 500mA When you plug it in with this adapter and it appears to be working?
It may work,but the phone device will be underpowered and it may not function to its full potential,like range,signal clarity. But on the other hand,your adapter will be overloaded and may heat up,leading to a short life. Rajiv Modi
Can 12V 1A adapter be used for 12V 2A device?
no, it may damage the appliance.1Can_12V_2A_adapter_be_used_for_12V_1A_device, 2a adapter cannot be used for 12v, 1a device if the so mentioned parameters are input parameters of the device.Yes, a 12 volt 2 amp adapter has more that enough capacity to operate a 12 volt 1 amp device. In fact the adapter can operate devices up to a limit of 12 volts 2 amps. A device larger than 2 amps connected will tend to heat the adapter up and eventually cause it to fail.
Will a 9v DC adapter damage a device that requires a 6v DC adapter?
Yes, the manufacturer specifies what the working voltage of a device will be and that voltage has to be adhered to.
Can you use a 13v 2.77 amp ac adapter in place of a 12v 3.0 amp ac adapter?
It is not recommended to use a higher voltage adapter than what is specified for your device. Using a 13V adapter instead of a 12V adapter may damage your device due to overvoltage. It is best to use the adapter with the exact voltage and current specifications that are recommended by the manufacturer.
