I bought a replacement power supply for my dell upgraded to 90w-ac but the prob it that the old one was +on out side - on inside and the new one is back the other way around what did I fry. me thinking that they would send the right one I didn't think to check that HELP it is a dell n7010
 
I don't have an answer for you but will tell you that posting the same question multiple times will not get you an answer any more quickly. I hope someone is soon able to post a response that will be helpful.
 


No problem, it's understandable when you are new to the forum. Someone else posted a question about a power brick for a dell computer. It seems as though the original power brick was rated at 60w and the replacement at 90w. I can't remember if they were looking for a replacement or were having trouble with one they purchased.
