Hello, need to work on someones dell laptop and they forgot to give me the charger. I tried my HP charger and it does work but im worried either my charger might blow up or his laptop might.

On the laptop it says input: 19.5V-4.62A The original charger is 90W
On my charger it says output: 18.5V-3.5A 65W

So will using my charger for around 15 minutes damage the laptop or charger?

It will be fine for 15 minutes, it wont charge the battery though.

Wouldnt risk it. Just ask the user for the charger.

It'll be absolutely fine, use hp chargers on dells all the time at work saves having 2 test chargers.
