OldFatGuy: thats all of my posts lol

ANYONE-- found the exact thing i need for my monitor-but still cant seem to order it. posting screenshot in case anyone else may know more. but that is the part EXACTLY. Same model number too [SOY-1200500]

oops jost noticed this one has a z after the 500 in its model number and mine doesnt. man the pic looks exactly like what im holding in my hand though.
I've found the exact part you're looking for in the Spanish eBay site. I guess I got that search result right away because that's where I am now, and you're not. Unfortunately, they don't ship overseas. (Literally, that seller doesn't even ship to the Spanish islands :-D)

However, it's a power adapter you're looking for, and you don't really need the exact part. In fact, the SOY-1200500 is listed as a "generic power adapter". You can do with a compatible adapter, and the 500Z looks like it's compatible.

See the attached pictures (sorry about the 500z, it's from a zoomed-in PDF). You can see both adapters have exactly the same specs, including the funny (important!) diagrams with the lines, circles, plus/minus signs.

More info here, if you're curious: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/choose-right-power-adapter-charger-phone-laptop/

Scroll down to "Reading an AC/DC Adapter Label" to see what I'm talking about. If it sounds like Chinese to you anyway, just stick to the idea that if the numbers and diagrams are the same (and the connector fits), you can replace an adapter for the other (*).

So you have a few choices. I don't know which one is more convenient for you, or possible at all:

- Order the 500Z (**)
- Walk into a local electronics store with your current adapter in hand, and tell the guy you want a compatible one. Check carefully the label and the connector.
- Try to find a compatible one online. If you get to see a picture of the label or the manufacturer specs in their website, you should be able to determine if it's ok for you. Feel free to ask if you need help with this.

(*) The numbers might actually differ and still be a valid replacement. But I don't want to further confuse you, and also I think you'll feel safer with exact numbers.
(**) I'm assuming the 500Z has the same connector as the 500. I'd be very surprised that it's otherwise.

Sad for your bad luck, but shouldn't you address the flooding problem, before buying more expensive gear?
Also, can't you ask someone to build you PC for you, if you're unable to? You don't miss the $$ for it..

kizuxtheo: It's kinda annoying, because for some reason if you see the reply without going into the "forum reply" page, the purple notification will stay even though the relevant post will no longer be featured at the top. The only solution is to go into the forum reply page, and open the post you know you got a reply in. It will make the notification thingie go away.

You need attitude adjustment. Or thread insurance.

OldFatGuy: no longer showing up in forum replies and i dont know if i remember them to be able to find them by browsing. gonna try though. thx
I was having this problem and in the end the only thing that worked was waiting until I had a notification (as in the little bell icon to the right hand side) and then clicking the "clear notifications" button there. Even though forum posts don't show up in notifications, clicking that still clears the purple dot.
Best way to get a notification to be able to clear them all is to get a PM, so to that end I'll send you a PM. Just don't read it before you click the clear button! :P

EDIT: Oh whoops, I can't send a PM. Well get someone to do it anyway.

I was talking about the 2433GPDWIN code, it was supposed to be a puzzle, right?

Actually I'm pretty sure that a 2433GPDWIN is the muffler bracket for a '78 Pinto.

Can you try the code to see if you get the same message?

It's valid here, but I already have the game so of course the redeem button is grayed out.

Yeah, there are codes that appear valid but when you try to redeem them after the captcha in the redeem/cancel page you get the message that they don't work.

Oh, no. No puzzle in that post. I had a trivia question at the end to give away Shadowrun Returns but other than that, no other codes were included/hidden.

Sorry about that. I should probably stop doing those hidden codes posts. I didn't mean for anyone to waste their time like that. My bad.

No problem, I felt like a winner solving that puzzle, 2,4,3,again 3 and GPDWIN it was a masterpiece!
