Hi I have a working half of a HP ZV6000 laptop that I wish to use in a carputer application via an external display. The DC requirements is 18.5V, is there a possible way to power this with any inverters on the market? I looked manufacturer provided car inverters for this model and all I can find are DC-AC converters. I no longer have the DC-AC power brick.
Hmm, looks like HP doesn't have one. Their auto adaptors only go up to 90W and the ZV6000 needs the 120W version.
Also, you're not looking for an inverter; they take DC and convert it to AC.
You could get one of the Carnetix DC-DC regulators at the MP3Car Store. The CNX-P1900 is about what you'd pay for a simple auto adaptor but it has many more features and is better suited to the car environment. It doesn't do exactly 18.5V but that shouldn't be a problem.
The CNX-2140 outputs more power and has a USB interface if that is of interest to you. Either one will work.
