19V to 2.2V is one hell of a drop! It's a significant voltage drop, but not a power drop with a switching supply. The current would go up by a similar ratio. If a linear regulator were used, you'd lose almost 90% of the power as heat.
Please see my reply to Lew.
I assume you mean this: "There is no switcher in the laptop that I can see when I take mine apart, just regulator chips." Do you know what you're looking for? Are you certain there's no ferrite transformer in there?j They can be quite small. Any regulator chips are likely to be for a switching regulator, as a linear regulator would waste too much power. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
