As a power adaptor can damage the device if it has less amps that it is necessary, obviously a device that doesn't have battery. As a charger if the device is able to work with different Amps no problem as far as I know.
Here and
here too are quite clear:
If for some reason your replacement power supply has a lower-than-required maximum amperage rating, you may end up with a burnt out or overheating power supply, and the device itself may not function.
Normally when you use adapter, that has lower power output than the device you supply power to requires, adapter will simply heat up and die. In case of laptops, where battery has some charging logic, it will probably not charge or take very long time to charge, depends on how you use this laptop. I don't know if the adapter will explode in this case though. I will certainly not recommend using lower amperage adapter than Toshiba specifies.
