I am trying to source an AC adaptor for an Acer monitor ED320QR for someone who lost hers in the floods. Something equivalent would be 12 volt, 3.5 amp with barrel connector.

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.

 

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/TDX-1205000-12V-5A-60W-AC_60744223539.html

 

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?

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

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.
