RCI strikes again.

But it did come out of a new box... my guess is that there was some

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.

...long time ago, '96 thru '00. Too many people bitched!
Acer has done it on their latest machines - 12 pin power plug from PS
to MOBO.
