View Full Version : AC Adaptors, are they interchangeable?

Does anyone know where I can find information on what AC adaptors I can use for each system?

For example, I know that a Jaguar AC is 20W for input but a Genny 1 is 17W

Will this damage it?

They're generally not interchangable. Putting 20W into a 17W console might work, but it may also fry the console. You should also check the amperage (sp?). If the console draws too much current through the AC adapter then at best it won't work and at worst it will cause the adapter to overheat and fry itself.
