worgeordie Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Had problem with PC and traced it to the AC adapter , so ordered a new one from Shoppee , but it has different configuration , original + -o - - , that's Plus don't know what middle sign is followed by - negative, on the one I have just bought , its - o - + , if I use it will it damage my PC, I thought it better to put into electrical forum ,than the IT forum , one other thing the sockets that I use for the PC 's are UK ones so + - are reversed , Thai has L on the left, UK L is on the right. (in a plug) both adapters are 12V 5 A , thanks in advance regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Better you give exact details of the PC and the adapter you purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Is it a PC or laptop ? If a PC im totally confused as a PSU is easy to install unless your PC is really old. If its a laptop with its adapter I would always try to get an original instead of using a generic. (unless many reviews state its works good with a certain laptop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they are both negative shield positive tip that’s the way pictograms show. The large dot is the tip the cut O/C is the shield connection.
