Notebook or Desktop? If the computer is a desktop is it AT (power switch leads run to power supply) or ATX (front panel power switch leads go to motherboard AND power supply on the back has its own rocker switch)? If it's a notebook does it rectify the AC to DC inside the notebook or in an external power supply?
