      Yes, you can certainly wreck your laptop, regardless of what power adapter you might or might not use.

      However, using the charger described in the question will not do it.

      What you need to know about any power adapter or charger is that the voltage needs to be close to that for which the device is designed, and the current (amperage) needs to be *AT LEAST* as much as the device requires.

      For the laptop in question, you need to use a charger that puts out 15 volts, or something very close to it, and which has a capacity of at least five amperes.  If you use a charger that has a capacity of less than five amperes, then it will not work, and it might damage the charger.  If you use a charger that has a capacity of a hundred amperes, or a thousand amperes, or a million amperes, it will work exactly as well as the one with a capacity of five amperes.
