COMPAQ - model #CQ60-307EA is the model in question

The minor, blue covered central lead , i think, was turned back within the
fill of the connector shroud, not connected to the pin, safer leaving
disconnected without any specific knowledge.
Just leaving the polarity of the 2 concentric cylinders taking the 4.74 amp
rating
Just looked at another known Compaq (Compaq Presario 2700EA) and DVM testing
the simple 2 way DC power connection , nothing on diode range.
no reading on R range one way
but other -2.8M on 30M range , DVM+ to known neagative and chassis ground
-260K on 3M range
and with another DVM
-6M on 20M range
-600K on 2M
-25K on 200K

how universal is that ? if not able to power up with current limited bench
power supply, monitoring voltage.
