Fml. :D

Does anyone know how to figure out what type of power cable fits the Samsung PN58C540 plasma? I'd really rather get it somewhere locally, rather than ordering from Samsung and waiting god knows how long. The connector is a bit different than a standard power cable (like for a PC), so I need this specific one. Helpz!

Looks like this, but with the top chopped off, so it's more like a triangle.

The one in the manual looks like any PC AC cord would replace it. It's just a right-angle connector. Still the same shape.

They will, same connector.

my only question is how did you lose it!?

Probably plugged it into his PCs Power Supply.
:biggrin:

(My new generic 40" has the same plug, I swapped the cord with a right angle from a desktop so I could plug it directly into the wall socket, used the TV cord on a power strip.)

According to your manual, series 540, 550 and 590 use this power cord

Thanks, but you're not referring to the picture in the manual, right? Because they have a standard PC cord connector shown on there for some reason - that's not at all what it looks like. That manual is used for multiple models, so perhaps the picture they show is for the lower end model.
