    I've been reading through a ton of threads and remember seeing this somewhere, but I just can't seem to find it now!!!!!

    Does anyone have the stock numbers for the 240 and 330 w PSU's for the ANW17 R2?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    There are no 240 or 330w PSU's for the R2. The only official PSU is the default 180w.

    You can order PSUs for past laptops that used 240 & 330w. If you ask a CSR for a bigger PSU, they'll simply reply there aren't any for the R2. Which is technically true.

    240W,3-PIN,AC ADAPTER,MPWS M6700, CUS

    That's the 240W PSU I was sent.

    You can look for parts that are meant for older systems to get those adapters.

    You aren't going to buy one are you? They are allowing us to get the 240W free of charge.
