I have an A\VOL Model ALTD1902M, great buy for $14 on eBay, but NO power adapter means I just wasted $14!
Where can I find a power adapter for this 19'' LCD/DVD combo? Or...
How can I find a replacement, given the only specs on the back of the LCD are ''POWER: AC100V-240V, 50/60Hx, 60W''. I mean, if P=IV, then 60W can either be 1.0A x 60V, 2.0A x 30V, 3.0A x 15V... ahhhh!!!
Help?
POWER: AC 100V-240V at 50/60 Hertz means that your unit has a switching power supply built in which will operate on ANY AC (alternating current) voltage from 100V up to 240V, on either 50 or 60 hertz frequency.
(110V @ 60 Hertz is an USA wall outlet power standard, whereas 220V @ 50 Hertz is the European wall outlet power standard)
So, you can actually use it with just about any line voltage from a standard home wall power outlet, you just need the correct power cable that fits into your unit on one side and into the wall socket on the other.
The 60W power rating is just telling you how much power the unit consumes for operation which means that if you hook it to a 110V power line (USA), it will draw a current of approximately 0,54 amperes (60 watts divided by 110 volts equals to 0,54545 amperes) and if you hook it to a 230V power line (Europe), it will draw a current of approximately 0,26 amperes (60 watts divided by 230 volts equals to 0,26086 amperes).
The switching power supply in the unit has an internal fuse which is rated somewhat above the 0,54 amperes, could be a 0,63 amperes, but most probably it is rated at about 1 ampere or more.
If the specs you listed are correct, you only need to worry about the correct power cable that will fit into your wall socket on one side and into the combo unit on the other.
Hopefully, if the unit is in good health, you haven't wasted your money after all.
