Hi,

The power supply is the following:

Model M3037

AC in 100-240V 0.9-0.5 A 45 W max

50/60 Hz 95-118 VA

DC out 24V 1.88A

Center tip is pos +

- ----[O---- +

The power supply is (to my knowledge) unique to the 190 / 5300 series but can be probably hacked as said before.

Nice conquest, the CE was the top of the range (big HD and better screen resolution) i enjoy my 5300 cs, even managed to go wireless with it.

The 5300 is known for several failures (hinges support, Power adapter connector) but is a very nice laptop.
