what size barrel plug?

quick google shows there are a few places selling them for $30-40

Don't know the size. I just have the monitor information to go on. I have seen the ones for sale. I am just checking everywhere I can think of. That includes Geekzone. People often have that kind of thing here.

I have a 12v 5amp thing here I don't need but it is quite a big barrel on it.

EDIT Pretty sure it is 5.5 x 2.1 mm

It might be okay. Possibly one size too big. I only have a photo of the monitor jack to go by. I can't find any specs that detail the size. How much do you want for it?

Hi.

If you can confirm the barrel size, I am totally happy to see if I can find one and send it to you gratis.

Can you see if a standard router/external HDD plug fits it? Those are usually of fairly consistent size.

You may be able to run it on the 12V 2-2.5A supplies that come with some routers as a temporary solution. Power consumption is very closely linked to brightness on monitors.

That would be great. Barrel size is almost certainly 5.5. This is standard and I was able to work it out from the photo by comparing to the HDMI connector next to the power jack and measuring that since I have plenty of them here. I am confident that has to be correct. Do you still have my address or should I send it again?

I can't do any physical matching at all. I am working from images. The lady I am helping is isolated in Wairoa. The original adaptor is gone. If I can find the right unit someone can take it up to her on the next run, but back and forth traffic is difficult.

Any chance she's got a standard router plug surplus then?

No idea. Not sure she would know what that is. But I'm pretty confident from my image analysis that the plug is 5.5mm.

I now have something on the way. Thanks everyone for your contributions.
