    Does anyone know the spec.for the power plug on a Dell AC adapter. This is the barrel shaped plug that plugs into the back of the laptop from the AC adapter.

    My best guess, looking... is a 1.4 x 4.3 x 6.5mm EIAJ-5 type modular power plug. Anyone have anything specific?

    Thanks

    Heck I thought they were all the same... My Inspiron e1505 and Latitude 620 have identical plugs. In this case it would specifically apply to my e1505. I just ordered two different sizes that looked like they might work. I'll post the results when I get the plugs. I basically have an extra Toshiba power supply and want to use it on my e1505, but he plugs are different. Power supply output specs are identical at 19.5 VDC, with one at 3.2 Amps and the other at 3.0 amps. Should work just fine as long as I can get it to plug into my e1505.
