Hi, I have been the owner of a PR4100 for a few years and my power supply has died. My issue is that I have been unable to source a replacement in the uk as WD do not supply replacement power packs. Does anyone have any idea where I can reliably source one from please?

Thanks Dom

Check out the power output rating on the current one you have then search the web for something with the same rating… might even be cheaper!

this is also a common computer lap top power supply

I am using a pair of Dell PA-4E power supplies. They are rated at 19.5V 6.7A which is more than plenty than the 4.74A the OEM supply is rated. The two are more than enough, I like the redundancy. The Dell DC plug is size, pin and polarity compatible. I inherited the PR4100 diskless and w/o a power supply. Works like a champ now. I just moved on from 15 years in electronic recycling so those power supplies were another found treasure. I have been running the Dell supplies for over two years now, so they are a viable alternative.

Please excuse me, but I have to call you out on this post, especially the Dell DC plug size. I don’t know what kind of Dell power supply you have, but Dell is producing computers for at least the past 10 years with the 7.4mm x 5.0mm connectors with a pin in the middle, which DOES NOT FIT to the PR4100. Any Dell Dell PA-4E nowadays have the aforementioned 7.4mm x 5.0mm connector.

The image is for just reference, that to show the 7.4mm x 5.0mm size and shape.

The connector which fits is the 5.0mm x 2.5mm barrel connector.
