The wattage needs to match. The best way to find out if this is the parts will swap is to match up the EEE code on the power supply serial number, NOT the serial number of the machine. The power supply serial number is on a tag which has the format "xxxxxxxEEEx". The "EEE" code is the three letters immediately preceding the last digit of the serial number.
