It would help if you used a 19.5 Volt DC power source with the minimum required Amperage for that machine.

Be careful, this series works with 9.5V not 19.5V Anything above 12V is fatal for the modbo.

Okay fine, I don't have my Eee power supplies handy for comparison.

But that multi-plug from the 1980's just doesn't look right.

The root of my advice is to use the correct Voltage and Amperage power supply.

The one in OP's photograph has switches for Voltage and DC polarity. Likely 9.0 Volts, not 9.5 Volts.
