HI all I need some help.
I am modding my laptop in car charger using the original plug off the actual laptop charger as my multi purpose in car laptop charger don't have the right tip.
I have run into a snag though every you tube vid shows there only being two wires from the laptop barrel plug but mine has three and my in car laptop charger only has two like most other laptops do.
Here is a pic of the actual barrel plug off the laptop charger
**broken link removed**
and the wires
**broken link removed**
as you can see there is an outer case,inner case and the very small pin in the centre.
I put a multi meter across it and here is the out puts
the very outer ring is a white wire
the very inner ring is the red wire
the very small pin in the centre is the black wire.
Am i right in thinking that I only need the red and white wire and that the black pin is just earth and not used in a car as its DC not AC.
Please please advise.
Thanks very much in advance
P.S
I am not 100% sure on the actual wires going to what pin on the plug I can work that out when I find out if I can just leave one of the pins out thanks.
