out went 12" CRT TV and in came 24" LED but help.

I just purchased a 24” LED tv to replace the old 12 inch CRT which came with the unit from the factory. It was my understanding that the original CRT drew about 30w which is pretty close to the 33w draw on the new LED so I just picked one up for an overdue upgrade. When I removed the old tv, I discovered that the power cord (part that plugs into the tv) was hard wired to the rv electrical system and not a standard AC plug in. I now have a male plug that used to plug into the back section of the old CRT which was able to run off the batteries.

The new LED 24” tv came with also came with its own AC power cord/supply the small “brick” that looks similar to that of a laptop which has it’s own male plug that looks similar to what used to power the old CRT. Not knowing the compatibility of the old plug with the new LED tv, I have not attempted to plug the original power plug into the new LED TV and just plugged the new tv into the AC receptacle to be safe. So now I can’t watch tv when unless i’m either hooked up or running the generator. I need your advice in changing that.

The original 12” CRT is undoubtedly 12V and likely drew about 30w, can’t find the amp draw.
The new 24” LED shows: 19V 2.0A and 33W on the spec sheet.

Will the original power cord power the new tv without damage?

Thanks in advance,

You can always cut the old incoming cord connector off & connect a new 12 volt female receptacle to that end & use a small wattage AC/DC inverter like this one. That will accomplish what you want to do & not have to run the generator or be connected to shore power.

No!
By limiting the voltage to the new TV you will fry it's power supply.
Why don't you just use the cord that came with the TV? Just install an outlet.

Look at the specs printed on the power brick for the new LCD and see what it's output is. This should answer your question.
