Apple Screen Power Adapter

[estergon]

Hi,

I have a 23 inch Apple Screen, which requires 24.5 V & 3.7 A power adapter. Power adapter doesn't work now and I checked the internet but couldn't find any on these specs.

I found same voltage power adapter but lower Amper value. Here is the link : AC Adapter for Apple Mac PowerBook G4 15" 17" 15.2": Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

If my question is not silly, can I buy 2 of them and make a parallel connection ? Will it help ?

Another point, I found one, which produces 24 V at 3.7 A. Do you think that 0.5 V difference makes problem ?

Thank you.

I believe that you won't face any problem if you use this power adapter.
I had a Samsung LCD monitor with a defective adapter. The manual stated a 14V/3A power adapter. I used a 12V/4A spec SMPS output as the power source and it worked fine. At a lower input voltage the monitor will usually draw more current to meet the power requirement of the backlight power supply. The digital board inside the monitor will have a regulator at it's input so no worries there.
The current requirement (3.7A for your mointor) is usually overstated with some safety margin, so at 24V, the slight increase in current demand can still be met with the same current output but lower voltage adapter.

Hi,
If the Adapter you mentioned 24.0 Volts capable of delivering 3.7 Amps is an SMPS adapter you will have definitely no problem on working of your LCD, but if it is using a transformer for 24 V, it may give a little problem on very low input voltage. Try it confidently.

Good luck.
