Pavilion dv6
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Looking to only carry one power supply when I travel. I've got a CPAP machine with a 24v transformer that fits my hp Pavilion dv6. I've found on the board recommendations not to use a 24v transformer, wanted to ask if anyone has actually done it and what were the results?

 

Thanks!

I myself have not tested this because I did not want to burn my machine to dead. Normally it is safe to use standard voltage on charger plus or minus 5% only. I believe your DV6 charger is under 20v.

the spec is 19v, not 24vdc

 

do not run 24vdc. imo.

 

no example stated.

what pack name it.

120vac and 24vdc out , it is unregulated or regulated, if un-regulated many packs put out 30vdc.

did you use a meter, to prove its only 24vdc?

and now many watts, 65w min. is par.

 

is this and AIRCRAFT USAGE????

 

 

so asking use to blow up a $100 to $300 mobo

who'd do that? and why try?

 

 

have you seen this, (ive no idea at all your APPLICATIon ) so im shooting from the hip

here is the air craft version

10-24vdc in, and 19v out., its a DC to DC inverter, not a transformer. which is AC only (ask Tesla why)
