Need Some Help...

I own a 13 inch MacBook Pro, but all 3 of my 60W MagSafe power adapters have broken. I tried plugging it into a 45W MagSafe power adapter, and it seemed to work fine. I received info that this was a bad idea. Is it? Should I continue doing so? Risks?

from the article you came from:


"For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. "


It wont provide enough power. Get a 60W or higher adapter.
