Hello all,
Please correct me if this is in the wrong category.
So I left town this weekend and took my hard drive with me (used as addl. storage for gaming system) and realized when I got to my destination that I forgot the power adaptor. I noticed the input port on it is the same as on my laptop so I plugged in the laptop power adaptor in an attempt to power it, which did not work. Fast forward to now, I'm back home and plugged in the provided power adaptor and it still does not turn on. I check the backs of both power adaptors, the default outputs at 12V whereas the laptop power adaptor outputs at 19V.
My questions are:
1) If it is fried (I'm assuming so), can it be fixed or the information at least be recovered?

2) I have been browsing aftermarket power adaptors just to ensure this doesn't happen in the future, and noticed the amps for both input and output are higher than what my default adaptor has, could that be an issue or no as long as the output Voltage is the same?

Thank you all for your help, also I can provide links or pictures of products if needed.
