DC power connector for HP 250 G5 compatibility

[cybernoid]

Got HP 250 G5 and laptop works just fine. Would like to buy backup power supply for my HP 250 G5 (one for house and another for home).

Had noticed some power supplies for HP 250 G2, G3 & G4 on ebay and would like to buy one of them.

What I do not know is if DC power connector on HP 250 G5 is compatible with the power connector on HP 250 G2 or G3 or G4? If they are, I would buy that power supply (as DC power ratings are the same, like 19.5V at 2.5A-3.3A)

Hi,


Manuals,
G5: Page 37

Go through Page 37 in G5 manual to get the exact HP part number of the Smart AC adapter and power cord you need.

Verify this part number with G2, G3 and G4 manuals. Smart AC adapter (65W, 45W) part number seems to be matching, but power cord isn't so. Get the exact part number listed in G5 manual.

Search the HP part number through online stores.

Hi, thanks for reply.

Just by looking at parts numbers it looks like they do match.

For my G5:

45-W, for use in HP 250/256 G5 Notebook PC models 741727-001

And for G3 it is:

45-W non-PFC, non-slim HP Smart AC adapter (for use in all countries and regions except for the

People’s Republic of China and India)

741727-001

I think I'm good! 😄
