    Hello, I have purchased a fuitsu laptop that requires a 20V / 3.25A power supply.
    However, I couldn't get a power supply so I connected an ASUS 19v / 3.15A power supply.
    I have a question if something can be damaged in the laptop (the batteries were removed).

    It will not damage, at most it will charge the battery slower.
    It is generally accepted that the current should not be lower than the rated current, but I have been using such power supplies for years ...

    Rather, nothing should happen. I, too, have been doing such replacements of power supplies (19 and 20 V) for a long time and nothing happened to the computers or power supplies.

    So far I have not noticed any disturbing symptoms, but maybe someone else will add some comments.
    I took out the battery because it doesn't work anyway, so why should you "charge" and additionally load the power supply.
    PS. The power supply does not heat up above the norm.

    Damage, nothing will be damaged, but I will present a different opinion.
    The power supply should be original, as complications may arise over time.
    I have 2 power supplies with the same parameters 19V / 3.42A ASUS and Toshiba.
    ASUS on the Toshiba power supply stops turning on after some time ... ;)

    There is nothing to develop ... You have to use original power supplies and that's it.

    It cannot be ruled out that this is a power supply problem. After all, the Asus current does not differ from the Toshiba brand current.

    Dell has an additional pin in its power supplies (plugs), on which there is a signal identifying the power supply, if you connect a weaker than required one, it will block the processor multiplier and will work with a lower clock speed

    Since the battery has 11V and the laptop is to work, the more so on a 19V power supply.
    I tested 2 power supplies and nothing bad is happening.

    power supply does not matter (not stated)
