    The power supply recently packed up on my M9750 and I am trying to track down a replacement. I got one shipped from IPC in Germany but the jack for the back of laptop was too long to make the internal connection. Can anyone recommend anywhere I can pick up a new supply? I contacted AW and they directed me to IPC so it was a shame the supply was no good. I see there are quite a few 19v 9.5A 180W supplies out there so I might just pick one of those up and replace the jack with my existing one. There isn't a diagram on the supply denoting whether it is the internal or external connection that is the positive. Can someone advise as to whether the positive in the inner connection so that if I do get a different supply then I can wire it up correctly...I've been searching and googling for a couple of hours and can't find the answer.
    Thanks
