got an lg flattron W1943TE monitor but lost the power supply

1. check Ebay for the actual thing.

2. find out the specs. if they are not on the monitor case, they should be on the power adapter so ask someone with the same to look at theirs; you might need to know the polarity; usually the outer part is ground but not necessarily.

3. if your new adapter has the wrong plug, you can hard wire it or buy parts to put a new jack and or plug on. The DC voltage has to be correct, and the amperage has to be the same or higher.

oops, you already did the ebay thing. sorry about that.

find a jack that fits usually the size is relative to its capacity.
then just splice it to the new ps

you can of course open it desolder the jack and solder the wires directly everything should be fine unless you swap the wires or use the wrong voltage

you are the one helping me man, no need to apologize, thanks for the advice, i think i can look up the schematics somewhere, i thought about making a makeshift jack connector with a few file clips but 12v and 2 amps is not exactly safe to touch, so thats off the table

that is an option but i don't think it will be easy finding an exact match for my type of connector, its a pretty small one with a pin in the middle and i don't really wanna guess which one on ebay will fit my design, i assume the second option you suggested is best but i don't really have a soldering iron or any experience with one, think i can get through with twisting the wires together and hot gluing them together

>>1203397
nevermind.. now that i think of it the female power connector is most likely soldered directly to a board of some kind and not lead through some wires beforehand, i guess i will have to go with solder or to find a jack that fits the same, thanks for the advice mates

Doesn't need to be an exact match as long as fits and makes contact. I've had loads of success scrounging old power adapters for connectors and finding one that "looks" like it will fit, just jamming them in (making sure polarity isn't reversed of course

>read DC polarity from monitor

>read amperage input from monitor
>obtain ID and OD of conductors for the port
>plug results into digikey's website (I think power supply/adapters - external category)

done. Don't fuck around with different voltages or polarities. Exceed amperage listed on monitor if you want.
