Hello. I recently lost the external power supply to my HP Pavilion 22xi. HP doesnt' seem to sell replacements. I'm wondering however, if a laptop power supply is just basically the same thing and would work just as well?
Here is the dilema, before I go plugging one in. On the monitor, it says that it's 12volt, but when I look around the internet I see that replacement power supplies for the 22xi are listed as 19v. HP power supplies do come in both 12v and 19v. Which one to get?
E-bay has lots of generic Chinese power supplies for dirt cheap but I have yet to see a real HP for the 22xi (new or used) one listed on e-bay.
I'd like to know exactly what to get because as you know power supplies are pretty expensive and I don't want to blow up my lovely IPS monitor.
So if I get an equavelant what should the voltage be? What should the wattage be rated at? How many Amps or mA's should it output. I'm guessing 12v 45watt 3.5 to 4.5 Amps.
