I have got one of these that is faulty - looks like the usual power supply gone u/s. All looks well inside the pc.
I am geting a dell da-2 d220 to replace it but i want to remove the dell cable and put the advent one on. Does any one have a piccie or diagram to show what wire goes where?
many thanks.

These Advent T1 & T100 PCs are great machines let down by a woefully inadequate PSU. The original HP-AU180D43 is under powered at 160-180W peak. In my experience a 200W+ PSU is required for this PC.

To be concise, you have two primary options:

Buy a replacement 220W Delta Electronics SADP-220DB B PSU. These are occasionally available on eBay, where I bought two for £92 incl. carriage. They are fine and resolve the Power problems.
Buy a Dell DA-2 D220-01. These are essentially the same unit, except they have an 8 pin plug. The pin assignments are different, but the two additional are Dell specific (reserved for remote) and the other six are 3 power, 3 ground lines. you can either cut off your plug and splice it into the new one, or open up the brick (with a small Torx screwdriver) and de-solder re-solder the power lines for an elegant solution.'

the above site has nothing to do with me or UKT Support

What are the symptons with the under powered power adaptor as I have what appears to be a power problem but the adaptor seems to be working?

The classic symptom of an underpowered PSU would be for a PC to crash or lock up under load, when running a demanding game for instance.

i know that you can get a repair on the HP-AU180D43 or the sadp-220db at http://www.adventspares.co.uk/

they did a few for me at £45+vat
