Hi everyone! My MSI GF63 thin laptop charger has stopped working and I'm in a bit of a bind. I have two old chargers from previous laptops that might work, but I've heard using the wrong charger can really damage your system. I can't attach pictures here, but I have the specs for the chargers:
1. The original charger specs are 20.0V, 6.0A, 120.0W.
2. The first old charger is 19V, 6.32A (no wattage listed).
3. The second old charger is 19.5V, 6.15A, 120W.
I also wanted to mention that my wife is lending me her charger with the same specs as my original one, which I know is safe, but I'd like to return it soon. Any advice on whether I can use the old chargers?

You should be fine using the second old charger (19.5V, 6.15A) since it matches the wattage and is pretty close in voltage. Just make sure the plug fits! It’s generally better to stick with specs that are really close to the original, but that one should work well for you.
Both of your old chargers could work, but just be cautious! The first one is a little lower in voltage, which might not provide enough power. The second one seems like a safer option, but as always, keep an eye on your laptop to make sure it doesn’t overheat.
