Slimline laptop charger/adapter for a Clevo P775TM1-G?

[Midwinter]

Happy Thursday, PCSpecialistland. I have a Clevo P775TM1-G (2018's Octane, I think?). It's got a 19.5V and 16.9A input. The charger for it is wide and chunky. I'd like to get a thinner charger/adapter (it can be longer/wider, as long as it's less deep). I've had a look on Amazon and found slimline adapters, but they all have tiny ampere ratings. The closest I've found is this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AK75R6U/ref=psdc_430484031_t1_B00JE51E0M but at 4cm deep it's the same depth as the one PCSpecialist shipped me.

Am I running into the limitations of what is required to create a 16.9A adapter? Does anyone know where I could find a less deep one?

I think that's the problem. More power (amps) requires bigger components. If you do find a smaller one it may well run hot, especially when charging an empty battery and running the laptop at the same time.

Hey

I know this thread is nearly exactly 5 years old but just wondering if you ever found a solution to this? The charging port on this chassis is awful. It’s clunky and I’m constantly battling with it to keep the charger plugged in and as result, both the charger and the port have become very worn down. If I could change the port to a slimmer one, I’d feel like I’ve got a new laptop.

The OP wasn't talking about the port, they were talking about the charger brick, very different thing.

You can’t just fit a port you like, the port has to match the power rating of the charger and the power supply it’s feeding on the board. If you fit a port designed for lower power inputs, all that will happen is that the port will melt in the best case scenario, likelihood though is that it will result in fire. You'd certainly fry the PSU portion of the motherboard though.

If you understand circuitry you could modify the PSU on the motherboard, but obviously that’s quite advanced electrical knowledge required, it's not something we'd be able to help with.
