question for electricy genuises! Power Adapters

[muscleflex]

Hi all - need an answer asap.. My next door neighbour gave me a pretty decent Thrustmaster steering wheel controller for my PC. However, it doesn't have a power adapter.
On the back of it, it says 20v 750mah
It's a [URL="http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/rgt-ffb-clutch"]RGT FFB CLUTCH - PC Steering wheel with Pedals Gear Shifter and Clutch | Thrustmaster[/URL]

Now, I have rummaged through my junk and I found an old laptop power brick but it's a 19v 3.42a

Can I use the above?
I used a portable hard drive power adapter: 12v 1.5a and the steering wheel seems to respond and the force feedback works..

The amp doesn't matter so long as it is higher on the adapter as the steering wheel will only pull 750mah.
One thing is for sure that lower voltage will not break it but may not work.
I personally would give it a go.

Thank you! I'll give it a go then! :)

..should work ok mate =)

Just check the pins are the right way round (Centre is usually positive, and outer is usually negative)

Thank you both!
Got it working ok and seems to be responding! Now I'm off to play Need For Speed since it's too windy to fly!
