Does the 2 port use the same power supply as the 4 port?

You would think that I would know if the 2 port and 4 port systems use the same power supply because I probably have owned 20 5200 systems over the years but I don't know. If anyone knows the answer please post it.

Yes they are both the same 9v DC power supply.

What's amazing to me is that you still don't know how to look up something in the FAQ's.

 

Power Supply:  

4-Port: 11.5VDC @ 1.95A

2-Port: 9.3VDC @ 1.95A

I have two 5200 power adaptors. Each one was used when I got it, and each was obtained along with a used 5200 system. My first 5200, a 2-port model, was sold to me with a 9.3V adaptor. After that system suddenly quit working for no apparent reason, I bought another 5200, also a 2-port model. This one came with an 11.5V adaptor--and I never noticed that until now, because I've never bothered to check until now. I've been using that adaptor the whole time that I've owned the second 5200 (almost 4 years) with no problems. Admittedly, I only whip out the 5200 for some gaming maybe once or twice a month, so it hasn't seen serious use--but I haven't had any problems with it.

 

My questions: Should I be concerned that I've been using the wrong voltage adaptor after all this time? I still have my old 9.3V adaptor, and I'm pretty sure it works, although I was afraid it could've been the reason my first 5200 stopped working--should I be using that instead, since it's apparently the "correct" voltage? Or is there no harm done in using the 11.5V adaptor with a 2-port system?

No, the voltage difference between the two is not a problem, you can interchange them without concern.
