No, there is a good reason for this too! The power supply provides different chip voltages! You could fry a bunch of chips with the click of the on switch!

theres a distinction in compatability the 24 pin PSUs have a fastened quantity of pins for the motherboard (24 pin motherboard skill connections are the trendy ones) the 20 +4 pins are daul like minded with the trendy 24 pin ones (you connect the 4 pins to the winning 20 pins and plug it in to the motherboard) and the older computers (frequently 6 years or older) wich use 20 pin motherboard skill connections so oftentimes there are no huge ameliorations interior the overall performance of the laptop except you in easy terms have 20 pins plugged right into a 24 pin socket then you definitely get allot of tension on the laptop and relentless bluescreens and mistake messages because of the fact of loss of skill. wish this is obvious.

You could modify it but I don't recommend it. :)
I've done something similar in the past to integrate an AT motherboard to an industrial power supply. It worked but it took many hours to do from documented pin assignments and voltage measurements.
