I bought a 12v car charger the other day and after using it for a couple of hours the laptop gave up the ghost turns out the main board is fried.
The laptop has a nominal input of 12 volts and when I check the output of my ac adapter it has an out put of 12.25 volts. On checking the output of this new unit it has an out put of 13.7 volts even though it says it is 12v.

So my question is ...........is the 13.7v enough to damage the laptop ie fry the main board?

cheers
