⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
📉 Using a lower‑wattage adapter (90W or 120W) on these laptops may cause throttling or prevent charging
🔌 Connector must match — not interchangeable with MSI’s 4.5 mm × 3.0 mm or 7.4 mm × 5.0 mm barrels, or USB‑C
🧯 Avoid third‑party clones with poor contact — high‑performance models may reject them
🌀 Excess heat or frayed cables can cause intermittent charging
🧪 Always confirm laptop’s required wattage before swapping adapters
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🧭 Check underside of laptop or original charger for voltage and connector size
🔌 Use only with laptops rated for 180W and 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm input
🧪 If laptop reports “adapter not recognized,” inspect barrel contact and cable integrity
🧯 Label adapters clearly to avoid mix‑ups with lower‑wattage MSI chargers
🧵 Keep one at desk and one in travel bag for convenience
