Hey,
My laptop’s charger recently got fried due to some voltage problem, and I now have to get a replacement for it ASAP. The original charger for my laptop is a 45 W (19.5v, 2.31A), but the same model doesn’t seem to be available online. Although, I did find other HP laptop chargers that are 65 W (19.5v, 3.33A) and was wondering if I can use this one for my laptop without any issue? I have attached a picture of my charger as well for reference.
Thanks

As long as it is the same size and polarity plug and the same voltage a charger with higher amps and therefore watts can be used. It will charge the battery a little faster and the laptop will only take the power it needs. For example, this 65w charger would be OK:
