Hopefully any easy question for someone, I can't seem to find confirmation anyway...
So, I've acquired a bunch of older computer components, older laptops etc. My plan is to build a couple of 'frankenstein' rigs and refurbish the laptops - as simply as possible (clean, increase RAM & HDD, format & clean install), and donate them somewhere.
One of the more viable options is an ASUS S56C from ~2012.
i5-3317U, 6GB DDR3 & GT 635M (HM76 chipset)
The problem is, in the pile of adapters/cables that I've also received, I don't appear to have the charger for this specific laptop.
Now, I've no way of knowing if this laptop is even functional without the battery being charged.
I would buy an appropriate charger once I refurbed this, but I'm curious as to whether all ASUS laptops have a generic charger? If I could get ahold of any old ASUS charger for the short term, is this likely to fit/work or cause problems?
