   I have a Gateway T-6815 laptop. The power brick was lost a while ago. I now   
   have a generic laptop power brick.   
      
   I cannot determine the polarity that the laptop needs? There is no tip/ring   
   diagram. All that it has is:   
         ____   
   19v -----  3.42 A   (thats a solid line over a dashed line)   
      
   So... does that tell me anything? Is it possible that the laptop doesn't   
   care about the polarity?
