i am quite sure these adapters have a "resister"of sorts (voltage regulator) in them which holds back any voltage above say 100v.

So they are still runnig internaly at 100v even when plugged into 240v outlet

Will a dc power cord from a Compaq V2000 work on a Compaq nc6220?

All power adapters have to match the Wattage, Voltage and Amps exactly. So you have to look on the adapter on both of the power adapters and see if they match. If you use a power adapter that has more power than is needed you will fry the motherboard so be carefull. The wattage, voltage and amps are on the adapter..
