So i'm trying to start up an old windows 98 model. I was thinking of using the cable from a laptop because it fits into the power supply. Problem is i don't know if its safe, advice?. On the computer it says quot;AC input: 115V~/230V~,10/5A 60/50HZON the power cable on the other hand, it says 16A 250VAm i good to go?
most computers use an IEC 3 blade connector. if you have one of these standard connectors that fits the computer on one end and your power outlet on the other, then you are good to go. these are generic and used on many different electronic devices not just computers.
Both the 250v and the 15A are higher than the computer will need / be consuming So it is safe to use.
