Hardware Questions & Answers

Q and A

Q1. My power adapter fits both the HP and Dell computer. Does it matter which one I use?

A1. YES! Plug in the power adapter first on the HP and then on the Dell. Notice only one of the computers charge with this power adapter. That is because power adapters are SPECIFIC to a hardware manufacturer or vendor.

Q2. When I plug in my computer, a message comes up on the screen saying my computer does not recognize the power source.

A2. See Q1 above… you are using a power adapter/plug from a vendor other than the one who made your computer. Find a different power adapter for this computer.

Q3. When I plug in my computer, a message comes up that the power adapter is not the one that came with the machine and it will take longer to charge.

A3. Today, in Haiti, this means that you are using a 65 watt power adapter, when your computer was designed for fast charging using a 90 watt power adapter. This is not a problem – but charging will be more efficient with the correct size power adapter.

Machin òdinatè – Kesyon ak Repons

Q1. Adaptè pouvwa mwen an adapte tou de òdinatè HP ak Dell. Èske li enpòtan ki youn mwen itilize?

A1. WI! Ploge adaptè pouvwa a an premye sou HP a epi answit sou Dell la. Remake sèlman youn nan òdinatè yo chaje ak adaptè pouvwa sa a. Sa a se paske adaptè pouvwa yo ESPESIFIK nan yon manifakti pyès ki nan konpitè oswa machann.

Q2. Lè mwen ploge òdinatè mwen an, yon mesaj parèt sou ekran an ki di òdinatè mwen an pa rekonèt sous kouran an.

A2. Gade Q1 pi wo a… w ap itilize yon adaptè/plòg kouran ki soti nan yon machann ki pa moun ki fè òdinatè w lan. Jwenn yon adaptè pouvwa diferan pou òdinatè sa a.

Q3. Lè mwen ploge òdinatè mwen an, yon mesaj parèt ke adaptè pouvwa a se pa youn ki te vini ak machin nan epi li pral pran plis tan pou chaje.

A3. Jodi a, an Ayiti, sa vle di ke w ap itilize yon adaptè pouvwa 65 Watt, lè òdinatè w lan te fèt pou chaje rapid ak yon adaptè pouvwa 90 Watt. Sa a se pa yon pwoblèm – men chaje ap pi efikas ak adaptè pouvwa gwosè kòrèk la.
