manufacturer and model and the correct tip will be listed.
If you cannot find your specific laptop model please contact
Insignia customer service at (877) 467-4289 for additional
assistance.
My tip is not included, how do I order a new

First review the Tip Wizard at http://bbyurl.us/tipfinder for a
complete listing of compatible models. If the compatible tip for
your laptop is not included in the adapter package, one free tip
can be ordered through the Tip Wizard at http://bbyurl.us/
tipfinder. Use the Tip Wizard to locate your laptop manufacturer

inside of the tip aligns properly with the groove in the output

What other laptops can I use this adapter for?
The Insignia Slim Universal Power Adapter is compatible with
thousands of laptop models. A complete list of compatible
laptops can be viewed through the Tip Wizard at http://
bbyurl.us/tipfinder.
Why doesn't the tip fit into my laptop?
If the tip does not appear to fit into your laptop you may have
selected the incorrect tip for your 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 http://bbyurl.us/tipfinder. If you need
additional assistance please contact Insignia customer service at
(877) 467-4289.
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 http://bbyurl.us/tipfinder.
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.
The label on my Insignia adapter says DC
OUTPUT: 16V/19V but my laptop is only 19V.
Will the adapter damage my laptop?
The 16V/19V rating refers to the capability of the adapter and it
signifies that it can safely provide power to laptops with voltages
within this range. After the correct tip has been selected, the
laptop and tip combination outputs the appropriate voltage for
your laptop. Please refer to the Tip Wizard at http://bbyurl.us/
tipfinder to find the correct tip for your laptop.

My laptop is less than 90 watts (e.g. 65 watts).
Will this adapter damage my laptop?
No, using this power adapter will not damage your laptop. This
adapter only supplies as much power as required by the laptop,
up to a maximum of 90 watts.
My laptop is more than 90 watts (e.g. 120
watts). Will this adapter damage my laptop?
This is a 90 watt adapter and it should NOT be used with laptops
that require more than 90 watts of power.
I notice that the adapter is warm when I use it. Is
this a problem?
During standard operation the adapter body may feel warm, and
this is normal. The adapter should always be placed in a
ventilated area in order to prevent over-heating.
How long is the cord from the wall to the
laptop?
The AC input cord is 6 feet (172 cm) and the DC output cord is 3.8
feet (116 cm).
If I leave the adapter plugged in when I'm not
using it does it waste energy?
This Insignia adapter meets EnergyStar and CEC V energy
requirements which means it is an energy-efficient product
designed to conserve power. When the adapter is plugged in
and not being used it draws less than 0.5W of power.
