The useful answer would first discover if the power supply is
problematic before even asking where to get a new one. For example,
many XP users regard themselves as electrically knowledgeable. They
just know a power supply must be replaced because it might be a
problem and because they don't know how to get important numbers. A
lower wattage power supply inside the Dell may actually be larger if
using the number that others use. For example, a 250 watt Dell supply
may actually be the 360 watt supply sold to cloners.

Again, is this power supply defective? A two minute procedure would
provide a definitive answer - no speculation. No 'maybes'. Review it

For you, the most useful part of the procedure mean numbers from the
red, yellow, orange, and purple wires when computer should be powered
on and working. Then post those numbers here so that others with
actually electrical knowledge can provide further useful facts.

Does the new monitor controller require a power supply connection
cable? After so many replies, I never saw that answer.
