Think any of you could help me? I've got a Samsung Synchmaster P2370 and its power supply/converter is in desperate need of replacement. For the past two years, I've been unable to find a proper replacement. Monitor's connection is female and the supply's is male; apparently the norm is reverse. I've done more than my fair share of searching about, to no avail. I've nowhere else to turn, and I'd really, really not buy another. Pic for better reference. Also, should I post this on /g/ as well?

Sorry, I meant another monitor. Nonetheless, I've already seen that.
>>121386
Saw those, as well. These three have female connections akin to what is in my monitor.
Pic has what I need to. Original post image is the connection type I'm looking for. Mind the melted receptor, that's the power supply's doing.
>>121391
buy a new power supply, cut the adapter and splice on the old one?
>>121398
If that were the problem, then I'd be more than happy to.
>>121404
so buy a new connector and a new charger?
measure the diameter and search for the plugs
>>121407
I'm unable to measure the size of the plug, as I lack anything to do so. I'm also unable to find any sort of mention of this sort of plug online, as the default seems to be female cord, male receptor. This is male cord, female receptor.

seems to be this but it's sold out, it's bizarre they're all females elsewhere

I'm finding a lot of those in BR sites, I have no idea if they send abroad or not

Dumb enough as this sounds, but all of those rings of the connection ends are too thick. The connection I need is stupid thin, almost like it was taken out of a receptor. I'd already purchased an item similar to >>121385 within the first year of searching, with it just being slightly too thick. It's infuriating.
>>121449
that really sucks man, maybe try one of those cheap universal chargers with multiple connections
something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sumvision-Universal-95W-AC-laptop-charger-9tips-Acer-Dell-HP-IBM-Samsung-Toshiba-/151307346887?hash=item233a9ee3c7:g:kNIAAOSwBahU~daT
I had a similar problem with an old laptop charger and one of those things I found on a chinese store saved me, still works today
>>121474
Not even that can save my ass. Roommate got a universal laptop power supply. I tried all the attachments, but none of them fit. A worthy suggestion, though.
>>121370
consider buying an adapter like this for the female port in your monitor and one of the chargers already posted.
