Right now -- my preferred lab power supply for that (a Power
Designs one for 0-36V at 0-5A) is keeping my EEPC Netbook running to
run
my weather station web page. (It is loaded with linux, not the
original
Windows. :-) The original power supply failed not too long ago, and
finding a replacement (19VDC @ 2.2A with a 2.5mm barrel connector)
seems
to be a bit tricky. :-)

The readily available 19.5V Dell Latitude PA-10 and PA-12 adapters
might work if you have the barrel connector.

The connector is soldered, under a removeable boot. Ignore the center
wire which communicates data to the laptop. If the data IC fails the
laptop won't run at full speed, though the power is still there, so
maybe you can get a 'bad' one real cheap from a computer store.

Hmmm ... I picked up a "universal" power lump from MicroCenter,
which included the right voltage, and a listing for the maker of the
NetBook -- but it had a series of interchangeable barrel connectors with
a 3-pin input. Apparently a resistor in the connector programs which
output voltage you will get -- but there is no matching connector for
the cable (otherwise I would build my own adaptor using the original
cable and my own resistor to program it). I guess that I could find a
female barrel connector and use that to make the adaptor needed.

Thanks,
DoN.
