I have a gaming chair with a speaker built into it and I lost the cord for it. I managed to find an old xbox 360 cord that fit it but it’s 24V. The chair turns on with the 24V cord but I’m trying to find out if the higher voltage is hurting it.
Can I use a 24V 1A AC/DC adapter on a 9V 2A device? If so, are there negative effects of doing this?

do you really talking just about the cord, or do you mean a power supply? – Christian Jun 03 '19 at 18:25

it will blow up and stop working, it might catch on fire. The exciting thing is: Nobody knows when, maybe tomorrow maybe in 5 years. – Christian Jun 03 '19 at 18:28

Then crop and scale the image. – JRE Jun 03 '19 at 18:33

Try harder to match the required voltage and current. This could blow up caps. – Tony Stewart EE75 Jun 03 '19 at 19:38

The negative effect will (probably) be damage to one of the circuits inside.
24V is nearly 3 times 9V so it is not a good idea.
Find a supply that matches.
