also (dear lazyweb),
Sep. 2nd, 2007 11:13 pmI suspect the power brick for my monitor is about to fail. It still works, but it's very hot all the time. The monitor is a Dell brand 2001FP, and Dell seem to be profoundly uninterested in selling me a replacement. Does anyone know where one might be able to get a replacement? I suppose one could find some no-name power brick with the same specifications, which are conveniently printed on the brick, and wire it to the existing cable, but one generally prefers solutions that do not involve soldering irons.

[EDIT: I have found any number of things online that purport to be the same part ("Delta Electronics ADP-90FB") but I don't think they actually are. My part delivers 20VDC, not 19VDC, and has an output jack that looks like the picture at the right.
Also, if you know how to crack one of these bricks open and fix it, please do tell.]
