WTB Power supply for W700
Posted: Thu Nov 26, 2015 11:13 am
Looking for a power supply for the w700. Ordered one on ebay, but the male end is too big. I think the one I need is p/n 42T5290 or 42T5291. Thanks.

I stripped the unwanted plastic from the power connector of a 170W adapter using a security Torx #30 bit. That size fits perfectly and just takes out the plastic you don't need and leaves everything else (including the center pin) untouched.
