Armada 100 AC Adapter

My original HP pavilion dv1000 adapter (product number:239427-001) broke, so i had to buy a new one. I bought one from this website:
http://www.simplemicro.com/laptop-parts/ compaq/armada-110/compaq-239427-001-ac-a dapter.html

When it got it, I compared it to my original adapter and the tech specs were different.

Old adapter: Input 100-240V ~1.6A, 50-60 Hz and Output 18.5V = 3.5A
Just purchased: Input 100-240V ~1.7A, 50-60 Hz and Output 18.5V = 3.5A

Will the 1.6 and 1.7A difference affect my computer?

No, it won't affect it at all. That is the correct adapter.

The specification that's important is Output Voltage (18.5V) - and that the output amps (3.5A) is at least enough to power the computer and charge the battery without overloading.

The new one may be slightly less efficient (it may use a bit more power to do the same thing) but it will work properly and a difference that small wouldn't be noticable...the extra power use would be less than a night-light uses...

Personally it sounds like someone is out to find a sucker with a little money and even less knowledge. You made the right choice by asking first. Do not purchase that Pc. Ask the seller if Fred or Barney used it last. You will find something better. Save your Money. Besides, in that whole description it does not mention what parts are Refurbished.....Does that sound strange to anyone but me?

Hope it helps.
