    Hi everyone, first post here!

    I was hoping someone could help me find a compatible power adaptor for a wretchedly antiquated Samsung P10C, as I have no idea. It was given to me for free by an ex-boss, sans adaptor, and now I thought it would be a good starter for my nephew, but I'm totally stumped when it comes to replacing said power adaptor. Can anyone shed light on what might work?

    Thanks!

    The voltage, polarity and current rating should be marked somewhere on the computer, either next to the power socket or on a label on the bottom.

    The bigger challenge is to find a plug that fits the socket because Samsung tend to use a non-standard size. One of the universal PSUs such as this which has a selection of power plugs may work. However, you may not know for sure until you have tried each plug in the socket on your computer.
