RISOLTO: 150W charger used on laptop that came with 165w - Razer Blade 14" (early 2016 GTX 970M)

150W charger used on laptop that came with 165w

Hey all, so recently the charger for my Razer Blade 14 broke… The only replacement ones that match this computer’s old one are around $100, and I don’t want to spend that kind of money on a cord. I am finding lots of 150w chargers like the ones used on the older models. So my question is would I be able to use the 150w charger with my laptop that had a 165w? The difference is only 1amp, so I don’t think it’ll make a huge difference. Thanks!

No. It won’t work. The laptop shipped with a 165W power supply for a reason.

While you can’t use a 150W on a 165W minimum laptop, you can use a compatible higher wattage adapter like the 200W if you get a good price on it, since it will only draw what it needs.

It actually charged fine with my 90w universal adapter, but it would stop charging once you do anything intensive. It worked while I waited for the new cord to come in

@e_ah Yep. That's the issue other then throttling. It may help you bide time, but you need to get the right one.
