How do I connect the tip to the adapter cable?
The correct tip should already be attached to the adapter cable.
However, if you verified that your laptop requires a different tip,
you must remove the tip that is currently attached and connect
the new tip. After you have selected the correct tip for your
laptop, connect the tip to the output cable, making sure that
the ridge on the inside of the tip aligns properly with the
groove in the output cable connector. Additionally, the pins on
the inside of the tip should be in line with the holes in the
output cable. The tip should be pushed firmly onto the cable
until the tip and cable meet and there is no gap.
What other laptops can I use this adapter for?
The Rocketfish Laptop AC Power Adapter is compatible with
thousands of laptop models. A complete list of compatible
laptops can be viewed through the Tip Wizard at
www.rocketfishproducts.com.
Why doesn't the tip fit into my laptop?
The tip should fit snugly inside the DC input jack on the side or
back of your laptop. If the tip does not fit into the jack, do not
force the tip. Confirm you have selected the correct tip for your
laptop by visiting the Tip Wizard at
www.rocketfishproducts.com. If you need additional assistance
please contact Rocketfish customer service at [phone].
Will using an incorrect tip damage my laptop?
The tips are designed to be used with specific laptops and so
you should only use the tip that is designated specifically for
your laptop. The correct tip can be identified by using the
online Tip Wizard at www.rocketfishproducts.com.
The use of an incorrect tip may cause performance issues,
including the inability to charge the internal battery or power
the laptop, or the display of an error message on the laptop
screen. It is also possible that the use of an incorrect tip could
damage your laptop. For these reasons, it is necessary to use the
tip designed specifically for your laptop.
