    I have an M17x (deploy date August 2013), ordered with the GTX 770m. Came with the 180w DW5G3, no light on the plug. I'd like to future proof and get the "official" 240w PSU, preferably with the light, just because I'm picky. Can anyone check their part number and share? Thanks!

    Dell has always had a couple of sources for their PSUs, but it is never in house.

    For those of you who have the illuminated plug (lights up when you plug it into the laptop), what's the manufacturer of your PSU?

    Here you go, I took a photo of my PSU from AW M17x R4. It's 240W and does have the blue ring light around the DJ jack.
