Hi everyone i have a MAXX Digital MXLC15 (15 inch) LCD TV. It says it needs "DC IN" at the back for the power.
Power Input: 12 V 40 W. It does not specify the Amps. I assume the max 3.33 A?
However i tried an old laptop adapter
Delta AC/DC Adapter ADP-15ZB B
Input: AC 100-240 V ~ 0.5 A 50-60 Hz
Output: 12 V 1.25 A
and the TV managed to turn on. Is that even the correct type of adapter for my TV? (not sure if its an AC or DC adapter lol)
The Amps are way lower than what i calculated and expected. Could something go wrong with the TV or even fry other appliances connected like the DVD player?
I've tried leaving the TV on for about 5 hours (TV is still cool) but the adapter is a somewhat hot....
I know that higher Amps is okay as the TV will only use as much current as it needs. But what about so much lower ?
Thank you very much in advance.
