12v Converter question
I bought a TV that has an external power supply. It says 19.6v on the little box. Is there anyway to go from 12v to 19.6v without going through an inverter? Thanks Linc

When I studied Electronics Engineering we were taught to use 20% tolerances. that is where it came from.. Now occasionally we get down to 1-2% stuff but most components are 20% unless otherwise stated. So try it. Worst is it does not work. It will NOT damage the TV.
I know some folks claim it will. but it will not.. IN fact there is a procedure for restoring "Vintage" hardware to operation. It involves feeding it low voltage and slowly, over the course of 1-2 days Bringing the device up to the proper line voltage.. I have special devices to do just that.
If it works ... Great
If it does not. as I said. Many Computer stores (MicroWorld, Frys, Radio shack and of course Amazon) can provide DC=DC power supplies.. One of mine here is adjustable and 19.x is on the list. (in fact it is the one that can run THIS comptuer which is a 19 volt box). (I know they work, because I have used it.
