My friend's laptop power supply recently fried, but I took the weird Sony plug of the adaptor and swore to jerry-rig a replacement. Now, I have a 200 Watt AT power supply that I pulled from a 486 from way back when, and I'm wondering the following:
The laptop says it takes 16V at 4 Amps.
Checking the voltage between the +12V and -5V lines shows 16.06V on my multimeter.
The -5V output is rated for 0.5A, the +12V at 8A.
Soo...What amperage do I expect from this -5 to +12 setup? Only 500mA?
