Compaq and HP laptop power cord compatibility?

The plug for my HP laptop's AC/DC adapter has a loose connection, so I am using my old Compaq adapter. All the specs are the same; 65w, 18.5v, and 3.5a, except for the input amps, 1.7 on one and 1.6 on the other (probably just because of efficiency). The plugs are the same. I just wanted to double check. Is it okay to use the Compaq(actually says HP on it) instead of the HP one?

Thanks in advance!
