I bought second hand laptop that had no power pack. I went and purchased
a 4.5A universal power pack. Surprisingly the power pack melted five
minutes after connecting it to the laptop. My laptop is rated at 6.3A.
Could the power affect the power pack? My understanding is that a power
pack with a low rating might just take a little bi longer to recharge a
battery. Where does a laptop draw current when the power pack is
connected?
