Hello Bhavesh

Please go for a 12V 5amp adaptor. That will serve your purpose best which can found locally very easily. At least go for a 12V 3 Amps one

A PC SMPS that goes inside your computer cabinet is a good option, and falls in a similar price range.

agree but there are overheads, and is really hard for a non tech person to do it self or to catch a tech...

@muradshak, even if you do not toast the charger with the 19v, you will still be running it quite hot, and that would shorten the life of the components; leave aside wasting energy. Sticking to an SMPS is a better choice as you will be running at 12v which is closer to the lower end of the input voltage range. There are a number of video instructions available on youtube etc to convert a SMPS to a durable power supply. You can alternatively get hold of a 12v 2A smps adapter. this is the same one that typically powers your satellite tv box or your wifi router. Easily available at an electrical/mobile shop. about Rs. 600
