I still ordered a replacement power supply, just

Argh! The Bestec ATX250-12E was used in eMachines between about 2002
and 2004. Their track record was dismal.

The author of the first video claims that other model power supplies
are OK, but that hasn't been my experience. I've lost one or two
ATX250-12Z power supplies, which is what you probably have in your
Compaq.

Could I trouble you to supply the full power supply part number
instead of truncating it?
