A Pi5 will run on a 15W PSU. What you should have on the USB C port is *at*least* 3A. With the official PSU, the Pi5 will negotiate to get 5A. So to turn the question around...I just got my new Raspberry Pi 5, and it is not turning on (red light turns on but the fan instantly stops after spinning for a split second).
I'm sure this is because the power adapter that I am trying to use is weaker than the official Raspberry 5 power adapter.
Apparently, the official power adapter says 27W but the Samsung adapter that I am using says 24W.
It will be hard to get an official adapter here in Korea since it is not released, so would be nice if I can find an alternative.
So, here is my question.
1. Is 3W a huge difference? enough for me to buy the official adapter?
2. If Q1 is true, would any 27W adapter work or are there more things that I should look out for?
3. Is there a verification measure/procedure that is preventing me using adapters from different brands?
And here is the adapter that I'm trying to use.

What are the full specifications for the PSU that you're trying to use?
