Power Supply Help

jedi_jackson · 10-13-2008

My mother-in-laws computer power supply went down and she wants me to order her a new one. The computer is a Compaq Presario S4030NX. I pulled the cover and it has a Hipro 250W HP-D2537F3R power supply in it. I found this one on ebay

I just wanted to make sure it would work before I order it for her. Thanks guys!

It says it's out of stock and she needs it ASAP. But thanks for finding that one! Will the one I found work? Or any other recommendations?

The one you found will work-- basically for a low-power PC like that-- anything with 200 watts and up will work- there are minor variations in case-dimensions , but very rare to find one that won't fit the PC Case.
Going to a higher rating won't hurt anything-- the PC will draw what it needs & no more.I mean obviously you would not want a 1000 watt PSU-- you don't need it-- but anything up to 500w will be fine.
