    Anyone has experience on the PSU 240 W from Ebay? (GA240PE1-00)

    Have huge problems with this, and it could be the socket plug on mainboard or it could be the PSU.

    Easier to buy psu first.

    Read that there has been problems with the PSU's from others having the 240W. (cable/plug error)
    Since I order from Norway i dont want to buy second hand since it can have the error too and sending it back from Norway is just a P I T A and takes loads of time.

    Anyone have sources where they have tried?
    How about this?

    New Dell PA 9E Alienware M17x 240W AC Adapter GA240PE1 00 J211H J938H PA9E | eBay

    Thats cheaper than buying it from the US.
    P&P will alone be apx 50 usd.

    Will try to get one of them. :)

    Going on holiday to Orlando in under a week so have to wait ordering it until im back. :)
    Guess buying in Orlando of a shop is not easy to find.
