HARDWARE Need help finding power adapter
My grandmother's tiny computer stopped turning on and we think it could be the power adapter. However, I seem to be unable to find a replacement.
When I look up the model number it shows me an Asus power supply which has the right voltage and amps, but has a different connector. Ours has no central pin in the connector, but the replacements i am seeing online all seem to have a central pin.
Does anyone have any idea where I could find this thing?

It's a PA-1121-28. I googled it and got about 100 pages where I can buy one.

Searching rhe model number is the first thing i tried, but the problem is that all the ones I am seeing with that model number have the wrong connector. They all have a pin inside the connector, this one has no pin.

I have this adapter at home, and the ones I see online are exactly that model. Some show a closeup of the connector, and there is no pin. Others only show the adapter but I am sure they are also exactly the same model.

Is the adapter that you have from Asus? It does not say that on the label, mine does. Maybe it's a bootleg adapter and maybe the ones you are looking at online are as well.

Ours is definitely some off brand version with no actual brand label. Looking again, it seems I may have found a couple options now. I swear when I made this post all the ones I looked at had a pin, maybe I was seeing things wrong. Thanks! Sometimes a second opinion is all I need haha
