I lost the power cord to my Vizio tv but it uses the same power cord as a desktop computer and my 1st gen PS3.

The tv states 100-200V and 3.3A

My cord from my old PS3 says 125V, 10A

Will the cord work or will I blow my tv up?

Your good to go with the PS3 cord. Heavier duty than the Visio power cord.

I know ZERO about electricity so bear with me while I try to get a better understanding.

I was thinking it would either be underpowered because the voltage of the cord doesn't match the maximum voltage range of the TV.

Or maybe it delivers too much power because the cord had way higher amps.
