    Hello, Satheesh R P.

    The use of a more powerful power supply is undesirable. Although laptops contain some protection elements, the microelectronics components are designed for the current of the "native" power supply. An almost threefold excess of power over time can lead to failure of microelectronic components. So I recommend finding and using a 15V 2.6A power supply.

    Using a charger with a higher wattage, such as the 102W 15V 6.35A charger, is generally acceptable as long as the voltage matches the requirements of your device. The device will only draw the power it needs, so it should not cause any issues with the laptop. However, it's important to ensure that the charger is a genuine product designed for your specific device to avoid potential compatibility issues.

    The original charger output of 15V 2.6A is approximately 39W, which is lower than the 102W charger. While using a higher wattage charger won't damage the device, it is always best to use the manufacturer's recommended charger to ensure optimal performance and safety.
