Hi All,

My father in law just dropped off his laptop without the PSU for repairs - does 
anyone know if i can hook it up to a generic supply - or will it need to be a dell?

If the latter has anyone got one in their junk box?

I’d go an get his but i just can’t face the spanish inquisition about why he “...does not 
understand why his battery only works for 40 mins - he’d always had it connected to the main power." type 
questions.

Face palm :)
It will need to be one with the same connector of course and they're not universal yet, plus the same wattage - volts x amps, or at least approximately the same. It should say on the underside what the power requirements are.
