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.

If you're lucky, you have burned a coil and a capacitor, if you're not, an integrated circuit or more.
