A:Answer There are a couple of variations of this laptop. Some use the 65 watt charger. Others use a 45 watt charger. There are couple of ways you can verify which is the right one for you. If you look on the underside of the laptop, you will see Volts (V) and Amps (A). If you multiply those, it will give you the wattage needed.
