I just recently bought a converter for HP CQ 60-419wm and it burnt up. Will this product do the same?

I don't believe so. This works great for me! I'm using it in a Dell Inspiron 14 and it was an easy install with absolutely no problems. Please verify the connectors are connected properly and everything will be fine.

I have had limited success with these converters. They are designed for specific models, and do not seem to work with others. On some Acer notebooks that I have tested, even with matched models with the converter, I have to use the brightness controls once windows loads in order to see an image on the screen. You must also be careful when installing, that you insulate with electrical tape, otherwise they will short and burn up. Unfortunately, the replacement screens for these older notebooks have become scarce and too expensive.

Didn't work for me either. Just a small puff of smoke and I decided to fix it with the right part.

It is a converter to fit different type of screens for a laptops. For example, if you have a screen that is not compatible with your laptop, you would want to use a cable like this one.

Hi David, most likely it will. Samething happened to me. I got around it by changing the screen cable from the MB to the screen. A little more work but better result.

Not necessarily. It runs hotter without the converter, but it still runs. If you have a step down converter on hand, it's worth using though.

No it won't. I burnt mine too and the manual asks to use it only with 110V.

The machine I have is 110/115V. Seems to me that you would burn that version out on 220.

It should work, though this is a very low quality converter and might break. They are a hit and miss.

Shouldn't hurt at all. Computer will only draw what it needs. It won't fry any more than plugging that 90w charger into a wall outlet that has about 1800 watts or more potential in it. (120V X 15A)

NO!!! Not a good thing, it would damage your machine. You need either a converter or and electrician, neither are cheap. Suggest you return it if you have the option and purchase a 120volt unit, or sell it and do the same.

Same thing happen to me. A waste of money, I was told I needed an converter to make work. If you find another way please let me know.

Hello. You must see for HP part number. Sometimes the same equipment have a different part number, for revisions or new updates. I powered two DL380 and a DL360 with no problem.

I had the same dilemma. I used this on an HP product. I can verify that it worked fine.

The chart might be in error. If your manual and product description say "HP 60", use HP 60. :)

I don't know for sure but it's a resistance heated appliance and subject to ohms law so changes in voltage matter. Can the converter handle the current load?

Well, I ordered the burners thinking that it was Australian standarded voltage, but when I plug in it was burnt. Then I throwned the boxes already. So could please refund. Thanks Regards Ngawang

Hmmm, Amazonfan, not sure what to tell you regarding your converter - I'm sure it'll work fine, and this fan sure doesn't seem to be a power hog to me, so I seriously doubt it's gonna blow anything out -but you'll have to attach it to both your mobo and your psu. I doubt it'll function otherwise. I set mine at full speed, and it does a great job of cooling at that setting, and is whisper quiet.Not entirely sure I answered your question completely here, but that's the best advice I can give you, going by my own install experiences...

Hello, please look at all of the negative comments on the site: the converter dies out after some time. Mine died after 2 weeks but some on the site mention much shorter times.

If you are burning through fuses, there is a chance you have the settings incorrect or what you are using to convert is asking for too much power.

I have not noticed that there was written 120 and plug into 220 v. After I bought voltage converter, checked and the machine did not work. Is it possible that I did burn the motor?
