I'm looking to replace a damaged 12V 1A DC power adapter for a piece of
computer equipment. I have one similar with correct plugs etc but its 12V
1.5A DC (came from another piece of equipment). Is this safe to use as a
replacement - i.e the current output of new one is higher than old one, does
this matter?

The 1.5A is the maximum it can provide, the equipment will only draw
what it actually needs, is the polarity of the connector correct? was
the original regulated or unregulated? ditto the replacement?
