A company donated EliteBook 8460p and docking stations to our school.  My problem is the normal power chord for the laptop doesn't seem to be strong enough to power the docking station.  Can anyone tell me what power adapter I would need to make the docks work with the laptops?

Look on the bottom of the docking station for.

 

19v and the amps

 

19V  x  4.7A = 90W

 

Volts  X  Amps = Watts

 

What does yours have on the bottom???

I would use a 19.5V / 11.8A = 230W
