Over time I noticed that the 2 most common part numbers that I do come across with these specific laptops were 239704-001 and 239427-001 which is a "HP Compaq AC adapter (65 watt) - 110-240VAC input voltage, 50-60Hz, 2.4A - 18.5VDC output voltage, 65-watt - Requires a separate 3-wire AC power cord with C5 connector".

Also Compatible with: HP Compaq Business Notebook PC nx7000, HP Compaq Business Notebook nx7010, HP Pavilion zt3280US notebook PC (US). Because this laptop power adapter has been used for so many hp and Compaq computers over the past few years... this power supply is the same and compatible with hp spares P/N: 101898-001, 101880-001, 146594-001, 159224-001, 163444-001, 179725-003, A265, AC-C14, 285288-001, LPACQ3, PA-1651-02C, PP1006, PPP002D, P-0K065B13, 39427-001, 239427-003, 239704-001, 265602-001, 387661-001, 209126-001, 209124-001, 120765-001, 338136-001, 386315-002, 375055-001.

So now we know that part #'s KG298AA is now being sold under 463955-001 and here is the info exactly off the HP's master reference guide list: "90W AC Smart Tip power supply adapter - 100-240VAC input, 47-63Hz - 19.0VDC output, 4.74A, 90 watts, with power factor correction (PFC) - Includes smart tip dongle."

I went through and sorted the working list of laptops into something more reading friendly. If this information can help even just 1 person, then it'd be all worth it and my job is done. *Don't forget that 463955-001 is now the correct notebook ac part number for all of the laptop computer models and series below:

Compaq Presario A900 C700 CQ50-100 CQ60-100 CQ60-200 CQ60-300 CQ61-100 CQ70-100 CQ70-200 CQ71-100 F500 F700 V6500 V6600 notebooks.

HP HDX X16-1000 X16-1100 X16-1200 and HP G50-100 HP G6000 HP G60-100 HP G60-200 HP G7000 HP G70-100 HP G70-200 models use this 90W AC.

HP Pavilion dv2700 dv2800 dv6700 dv9700 dv2-1000 dv2600 dv2800 dv3-2000 dv3500 dv3600 dv4-1200 dv5-1000 dv5-1100 dv5-1200 dv6-1000 dv6-1100 dv6500 dv6600 dv6800 dv6900 dv7-1000 dv7-1100 dv7-1200 dv7-2000 dv9600 dv9800 tx1300 tx2000 tx2100 tx2500 tx2600 series models now use these laptop ac adapters.

I was also surprised to find out that this particular laptop ac adapter is also the new standard p/n for HP Mini 1100, HP TouchSmart tx2-1100 and the HP G3200 Notebook Series. If you need just the dongle itself, you'll find that it goes under 414136-001 and only can be found online unfortunately.

NEW HP 90W Smart 19V AC Adapter KG298AA 463955-001 Price: $19.99

This laptop ac adapter was especially designed to meet the needs of everyday power demand and also joins up with optional accessory adapter tips to also charge your cell phone, digital camera and so many other mobile devices at the same time as your charging your notebook. I'm glad they built in short circuit protection with auto recovery to prevent damage to laptop ac adapters itself and the electronic it's hooked up to.

When you first open the box you see that Targus includes 10 interchangeable tips which part #'s are 102, 104, 201,202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, and 209. The book inside has the master list of what tip to use for each device.

Here is the important information taken from the retail box (well, what I think is important LOL).
Power: 90W Max
Input: 100-240V ~ 3A 50/60 Hz
Output: 15-24V 6.5A 90W
DC Auto/Air Adapter Input: 12-30V 10A
DC Auto/Air Adapter Output: 15-24V 6.5A

Also on the Targus APM62 universal ac adapter outside packaging are the compatible brands that this can be used by just switching tips. Way to many to list but the major brands I see are Acer, Asus, Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, IBM/Lenovo, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and the list goes on and on.

The PA3715U, PA3468U and PA3432U 75W universal adapter works with a wide range of Toshiba notebooks and since it's universal... it means you can use this one around the world with the appropriate plug adapter depending on which country you are traveling to.

This Toshiba Global AC has the following ratings on the product - "75 Watts, 120V-240V/ 50-60Hz (Universal) input voltage with a 19V x 3.95A output voltage".

These same 3 part #'s work in the laptops listed below: Toshiba Satellite A100-S2211TD, A100-S8111TD with Intel Celeron M Processor only, A100-ST3211TD, A105-S101, A105-S101x, A105-S171, A105-S171x, A105-S2xxx, A105-S271, A105-S271x, A105-S361, A105-S361x, A105-SP461, L45-S7409, L45-S7419, L45-S-7423, L45-S7424, M60, M65, T115, T135, U300, U305 and Satellite Pro T130 and Tecra M8 series notebooks.

I told you once that “wherever I find myself, I can adapt”, apparently you took that to mean it’d be no problem for me if we moved into a tree house in a remote corner of the Democratic Republic of the Toshiban Jungle to live out your dream.

Now, I admit tropical living has its charms. (There’s always a new aroma on the air and I'd never be able to experience this back home... I've never seen so many brightly colored transforming animals before!) But when I said “I can adapt” all I really meant was that I had a couple extra HP KG298AA 90W laptop adapters for my notebook, and I keep one in the car and the other at work. So, you know, if I was at starbucks or something important! - I could do a little emailing without worrying about my battery dying and my coffee from getting cold.

Funny, now, to think that a computers battery charge was ever even on my top thousand worries! Since we’ve lived in Toshiban Jungles, I’ve been at robbed four times, I’ve suffered an animal trampling, and I even had a close call with an active volcano on what was supposed to be our “romantic anniversary picnic” as I’m sure you’ll remember.

Hans, I know a little something about compatibility. You know the notebook PC I had back home? That 17" HP laptop you bought
for me? Well, you should have seen it the KG298AA#ABA plugged into one. That was compatibility, right there. After thinking back on it now, I don’t know why I couldn’t see that we just didn’t have it.

I’ll be gone by the time you read this, Hans, If you read this. All I could find to write with was a stick dipped in the crushed bodies of these weird purple beetles that seem to get into everything. But even if you never read these words, Hans, I’m sure you’ll understand my decision. I can’t handle this life. I’m going back to what I used to hav... to my old job, my old apartment, my old HP Smart 90-watt adapter, the whole show.

I know I’ll never forget this time we spent together, though I’ll sure try. And I hope you find your Toshiban blood. Hans, I really do. And when you do, I hope he tears you into pieces and devours you because now I lost my facebook top 10 position and you know how I am with being #1.

Mad and Confused,
Amanda

The most common problems are due to failure of the output cable due to flexing at either the adapter or output plug end.

1. Notebook ac adapter: However, only if the output is stated to be 'AC' does the device consist of only a "stepdown". These adapters typically put out anywhere from 3 to 20 VAC or more at 50 mA to 3 A or more. The most common range from 6 to 15 VAC at less than 1 A. The regulation is typically very poor so that an adapter rated at 12 VAC may put out 15 VAC with no load and drop to less than 12 VAC at rated load.

2. Laptop DC Power Pack: In addition to a "step down", these power supplies include at the very least a rectifier and filter capacitor. There may be additional regulation but most often there is none. Thus, while the output is DC, the powered equipment will almost always include an electronic regulation. As above, you may find bad connections or a blown fuse or thermal fuse inside the adapter but the most common problems are with the cable.

3. Switching Laptop AC Adapters: These are complete low power AC-DC converters using a high frequency inverter. Most common applications are laptop computers and notebooks. The output(s) will be fairly well regulated and these will often accept universal power - 90-250 V AC or DC.

*Internal cable problems predominate but failures of the switching power supply components are also possible. If the output is dead and you have eliminated the cable as a possible problem or the output is cycling on and off at approximately a 1 second rate, then some part of the switching power supply may be bad. In the first case, it could be a blown fuse, bad startup resistor, shorted/open semiconductors, bad controller, or other components. If the output is cycling, it could be a shorted diode or capacitor, or a bad controller. It may just be easier buying a new one at the good prices these days in my opinion.
