What is this black/green/black power supply connector for?

I believe that would be how the power gets to your motherboard.  Green is ground, and black it the juice connection.

i can't seem to find this in a google search, but find out what kind of socket it is...DIMM is for desktops, and SODIMM is for laptops.

Is there any specific reason you want to change the power supply?  Not enough connectors?  Is it failing?  Power supply upgrades usually are only done when a unit fails or if you are adding more hardware into the system than the PS can handle... If neither is the case, you may end up spending alot of cash on a good aftermarket supply and it will do absolutely nothing to make your machine run better.  \n\nPower supplies simply convert AC voltage to the required DC supply lines needed for the machine.  They do not do anything to improve the performance.

1. You check power supply board.\n2. You must be check power cable it looss or not.\n3. If your CPU fan not working. Open CPU ,remove all "SMPS" cable on Mother Board.or HDD whatever.\nPlease ensure to check.all are tiny power cable of SMPS remove. \n4.Green and black wire sort by a single cable.power on \nIf the power comes up your SMPS is OK.\nOther wise Problem your SMPS

Small board/chip that inverts power (DC to AC) to the LCD screen.  If it stops working, your screen goes black.  Depending on your skill & confidence level, not too expensive to replace.  Check out www.laptopking.com for parts.

You will need to open the case if it is not written on the back of the PSU.  That information is not shared to the computer.  You can check on the manufacturers site but, since Dell is a multi-vendor supplier, your computer and someone else's computer of the same name will not necessarily have the same power supply.  You will not need to do any serious dissembling of your case in order to read the sticker that states what it is.  Just remove the side panel or open the clam shell and it should be visible.  If you have trouble reading it all but can get the product ID number then you can search for its specs online.\n\nMost power supplies are very similar in size (woot stanadards) but it could be an unusual size.  It will be written on the sticker along with what it is rated for.  If you are looking for a replacement or wondering if a system problem is related to your power supply you WILL need to look.  Power supplies are often the first piece of hardware to fail on a computer and adding additional hard drives, cd/dvd drives, memory, or a faster processor will increase the required available power.  Computer manufacturers usually use the bare minimum power supply they can.  You can pretty much pick out a good power supply by its rated wattage and it weight.  A good power supply will be heavier.\n\nSo the short answer is no.  If you have a specific problem related to the power supply post another question.\n\nHope this helps and GL :-)

Sounds like a problem on the motherboard, but it's hard to tell. It could also be one of the voltages from the power supply is missing. Power supplies are usually $40 to $75 bucks if you want to give it a try. You're better off taking it to an expert, though.

the graphics card will come with all the connectors what you should worry about is will it fit i your pc dose your pc use agp or pci-e you need to find this out first before making an expensive mistake\nolder pcs use agp \nnewer ones use pci-e\nso try and find out what your using\n\nalso if it doesn't come with one then no worries i have a spare\ni can post 2 u

No, the power supply is made to accomodate both newer and older motherbaords.

it's actually for a mic. just plug it in the mic plug on the tower. they are usually color coded, but then again its a gay dell.\n\n~Matt

Never heard of future power but maybe this link will help...http://www.nam.aocdisplay.com/aoc/support_drivers.html\n\nIf this aint right give me more info on the monitor

Does the post code on the LED actually say "87" or does it say "8.7" with the decimal lit up as well?\n\nIf it's "8.7", then the system is hanging while it's checking the core voltage, not telling you to check it. POST codes tell you the instruction the system is attempting to carry out when it fails.\n\nIf it's "87", then it's hanging as it tries to assign IRQ's to PCI devices.\n\nRegardless, I'd start by ripping out every component other than the basics (CPU, Memory, Video card), as well as re-installing those components to make sure they're all seated properly. See if you can get it to POST at that point. If so, proceed to add individual components one at a time, attempting to POST each time you add another component. I'd also check to make sure your front panel connectors are installed correctly to the header - PWR, HDD Activity, Reset SW, etc.\n\nAs a side note, I've heard about some motherboards having issues specifically related to the main connector of the Power Supply. Is your power supply's main connector 24-pin, 20+4-pin, or 20-pin with a 20-to-24 pin converter? If it's the latter, that could be the problem. Some 24-pin mobos just won't work right with a 20-to-24 pin converter. It could also be a voltage issue with the power supply itself.

Is it a digital or analogue connection?  My mate's analogue monitor had a similar problem and it was down to a dodgy connection with the graphics card.  I don't know if you've tried this, but simply see if unconnecting and reconnecting the cable helps.\n\nAlso, try your monitor on another pc (if you can) - It may actually be down to your graphics card and not your monitor.

It could be your power supply, if so the follow the link below to order a new one.  You can order a 400 watt power supply for  $22.99 from tigerdirect.  Power supples are really easy to switch out, just don't unplug anything til you have the new one screwed into the back and change them out one at a time if you aren't real comfortable with doing it.\n\nBut I would open up the case to see if there are any obvious problems first.

See Resources below\n\n***WARNING: When working with power supplies, be sure to read up on power supply safety.  It is quite dangerous (possibly FATAL) to work on power supplies if you do NOT have knowledge about how to SAFELY work with power supplies***

If the connector itself is shorting you might need to tape w/ electrical tape, but that maynot even work.\n\nSee if you can buy a replacement.\n\nUnless you mean it's the socket you plug the adapter into, then you're stuck. Unless it's still under warrentiy, then you should send it back for repairs

You can start by noting what type of slot/socket it has for the CPU, and/or any model numbers / designations to the mainboard, as well as the manufacturer. THEN perhaps we can look up something appropriate.
