R50 AC adapter question

[Tasurinchi]

Hi

My father's R50 AC Adapter died some days ago. I have lying around an old AC adapter from my ex-T30 (FRU:08K8203) and according to the R50's HMM looks that I could use it as well. But when I enter this FRU# in the Lenovo site, it's listed as part of a T43/p model only. If I check the list of adapters for the R50, the FRU number above does not appear.

My guess is that it will work, but I'll like to check with you experts.

How interchangable are all AC adapters models? I have also some extra AC adapters for X31 and X4x models. Can those be used as well?

Thanks in advance!!

Cheers

R50 needs 16V, 4.5A, 72W.
Any IBM part number will do as long as those specs are met.

Danke RBS!

Where can I see the 72W?, after checking all small specs in all possible languages I can only see 16V/4.5A

The AC adapters for the X3/X4 series I have say 16V/3.5A, but I found a seller in Switzerland selling an AC adapter for all T, R and X models as well

Just multiply 16V x 4.5A and voila, 72W.

Magic!!!

Thanks for the hint! Should have paid more attention at school, but that was looong ago...
