SPACE FACE! SPACE FACE!

(Note: In Canada)
Pretty well what the title says. I've got an HP Pavilion 23 All-In-One:
https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c04750820

This morning it just won't boot up, and I can hear a faint beeping noise from the power adapter (multiple plugs tried). The adapter is a HP TPC-LA57, e.g.
https://www.amazon.com/HP-TouchSmart-15-j00019-5V-TPC-LA57-PA-1900-31HC/dp/B015G4DHCM

90W (100V-240V) 19.5V Output

So I need to find one of these locally, and am having no luck. I can get something from I think Ontario in a week or two, but this machine is hosting the POS for a retail location (I was not involved in this decision).

In the short term, can I use a universal notebook adaptor brick that supplies the same voltage? All the descriptions of the TPC-LA57 I've read make me think it's a repurposed laptop/notebook adapter anyway. The one I was thinking was this:
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/insignia-insignia-universal-90w-laptop-charger-ns-pwlc591-c-ns-pwlc591-c/10291542.aspx

However all the universal style adapters I can find say 90W/19V, but the TPC-LA57 says 19.5V; is that going to mess me around?

I'm not confident it will work, but it shouldn't hurt to try if the polarity of the connector is the same. Make sure you can return the adapter you get if it doesn't work.

Hah, we ended up with an exact match voltage wise on a Targus universal. Exact same thing, completely bricked. Not the power adaptor unfortunately.
