Need help with Elite Computer Systems power supply.

[FenceMan]

I made the mistake of buying an "EZ Buddie" computer as manufactured by Elite Computer Systems (ECS). The external power supply died on me and I cannot find anywhere to buy a replacement. ECS is so completely unwilling to help me (not even sure anyone understands what I am talking about) I have filed a complaint with the BBB. All I want is to buy a replacment power supply so I can have a working computer again. Can anyone help.

Computer is EZ Buddie
Power Supply is Model #AD200-12P labeled Chi-Sam Electronic Enterprise

The external power supply (I'm assuming it's a "power brick" type AC adapter) should have some specs on it, like input/output wattage/amperage. What are they?

 

[FenceMan]

Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz 3.0A MAX

Output: +12V - 16A

The side that connects to the computer is a "4 pin din" connector I believe?

Thank you for the response, any idea where I can buy one?

http://www.bgmicro.com has lots of power supplies like that - maybe one would work. Radio Shack also carries universal laptop power supplies but they are quite expensive.

I don't think that BGMicro has one that big - that's a 200W PSU. Is it still under warranty? What were the circumstances of its dying? I couldn't locate one with Froogle. About the only places I see mention of it with Google is in relation to some ECS product or other. Worse comes to worse, you could adapt a standard AT or ATX PSU for that purpose. Just requires a bit of cutting and splicing and a couple of load resistors and a switch.
. I would have warned you off of buying any ECS or PC Chips product if you had asked prior to purchase. Even if it is cute.

Did you find that power supply? I need the same.
