Adapter for Toshiba Satellite C855D‑S5900 19V 3.42A 65W – FAQs
-
Can I use a higher‑wattage adapter (e.g. 75 W or 90 W) instead of 65 W?
Yes — if the adapter still outputs 19 V and uses the correct 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm barrel plug, a higher‑wattage adapter is usually backward‑compatible. The laptop will draw only the power it needs. -
Is it safe to use a third‑party (generic) adapter instead of the original?
Yes — provided it matches the required specs (19 V / 3.42 A / 65 W), correct plug size (5.5 × 2.5 mm), and ideally includes safety protections (over‑voltage, over‑current, short‑circuit, thermal). -
Will this adapter work internationally (in other countries)?
Yes — with its universal 100–240 V AC input, the adapter can handle different mains voltages worldwide. You may need a plug adapter depending on the destination’s socket types.
