    Can someone tell me the part number for the HD connector on an Aspire 3680 and where to buy one? I got a good deal on this without a HD, but I didn't count on the adapter not being there. Any help is appreciated. Also, if anyone with this model can tell me the AC adapter part number, or specs (IE: 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz ~ 19Volts 3.42 ~ Amps 65 Watt) too, that would be a big help, because I don't have the AC adpter either. Thanks.

    I did open the HD compartment and there is a caddy, and no connector. It definatly needs an adapter of some sort.
