Answer 1

Nope not at all. You will just have to buy a new adaptor. Should have made sure it would fit before you bought it. Just make sure that you get one that is for your paticular hp model and then it will be fine

Answer 2

Yes there are lots of adapters for all sorts of things.

You can have a look on Ebay on which you wil find quite a few of them

Just find out what make ur charger is and your laptop (or better ur laptop plug in hole) and search the adaptor for them

Answer 3

I've never heard of a laptop charger adaptor, so you'll have to buy a new charger. Ebay is always good for chargers. Make sure it matches your model next time.

Answer 4

Sometimes these adapters have specific terminals because the voltage produced by the charger will only work on specific models.

If you swap around this combination without absolute certainty about the voltage of the charger AND it's compatibility with the computer, you risk frying the comp'r.

Answer 5

It's best to buy a completely new one. One that is actually made for your laptop. Using the wrong one can bring your laptop severe damage. Look for an authorized dealer or for cheaper options, eBay indeed. Try to find out online or in the manual what the part number is that you need. In some cases this is called FRU (Field Replaceable Unit). Good luck.

Answer 6

Apparently you have purchased the wrong charger for your model HP laptop so just return it for the correct model because if you start fooling around with trying to fit something into the recepticle that don't belong you could end up ruining that laptop and the cost will be much greater than replacing a charger...
