I replaced a Dell P/S that checked good with a tester...the guy at the repair shop said a standard replacement wouldn't work. I did go back and tell him it worked fine in the Dell.

I've read reports that, for a while, Dell used a different pinout on
their power supplies. I've never encountered one in the wild.
