Lenovo ThinkPad Z61M Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. The Lenovo ThinkPad Z61M power adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Lenovo has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, selecting the Lenovo OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my AC adapter is about to fail?
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- Most Lenovo adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
