    You may find one at dicksmiths. This is what I can see for now.

    What are you going to use it for may I ask? If it is a laptop then those will be most likely fine.

      Using it for an external WD drive, fault finding leads me to think its the power supply.

        Well you will over volt your hard drives with the links I have provided. Do you know if you need that much current (4 Amps?) If not you can probally get away with a 12v Plugpac from jaycar.

            I should have some 12v 5A left over, $20 each. I had them for monitors, so the plug type is fairly generic.

              It houses 2 drives and has a network port.. so im assuming so

              @Jasby: thx for the offer, but 5 amps is over the spec for the device, or will that not matter?

                Current is different to voltage, it'll only draw what it needs. 5A is the max it is designed to output. If a device only needs 1A, thats all it'll draw.
