Hi all,
I just bought an Acorn Electron here on AmiBay, unit only. I was told to use an old laptop PSU as a replacement, 19V and 1A or more.
I've found one of these in my spare parts basket case and it all seems working fine. I can turn on the Electron
and use it without problem. I didn't even have to replace plug on the Electron side of the PSU as it fits perfectly fine (standard plug).
On the PSU it is printed:
"DC Output 18-21 V === 120W max (19 V / 4.7 A)"
My question is: is this PSU ok in the long run? I mean, it all works fine now, but can I be sure that the PSU doesn't damage the Electron after weeks or months of usage?
Thank you.
