Hi all,

Recently lost my MPC Live 2 Charger. Left it at a gig and it hasn't turned up :(

Was wondering if anyone knew a decent replacement?

Currently looking at a 19v 3.42a one on Amazon. This matches up with what's beside the charging port on MPC. Assuming this will suffice? It's 65w not sure if this is ok?

Any feedback or info is greatly appreciated!!

All the best guys

I brought my mpc Live to a electronic store and just bought a Laptop power brick there.
The brick has the same voltage and a bit less Ampere than the original one, but no issues so far. Just be sure that the plug fits in your mpc..

To put it short, aim for a charger with the same voltage and try to get as close to the origanal Amps as possible. A bit less Amps than the original is ok, don’t get a charger with bigger Ampere than the original..

Just Ebay it. Save yourself the headache of you damaging your MPC.

Just to correct a few of the misconceptions from above, you don't need to have one with the same current (ampere) rating. The current rating should be at least as high as that required by the MPC. Higher is OK, lower is not.

Power, measured in watts, is equal to the product of voltage and current. 65 watts should be just fine.
