Where could I find this PSU?

   HI everyone
wondered if someone here could help with PSU knowledge

I need to find a PSU which can supply 45w, 12v and about 3.95A. Its for a blackmagic multibridge pro video capture device.

It needs to have a 6mm x 2mm(centre hole) jack (this is what tech support told me)

I dont want to buy the official one for £55 - too pricey (got the kit for peanuts even tho it cost lots new)

Could I use a toshiba laptop powersupply like this? This one says 19v / 75w ...assuming it will fry it?

Thanks

A

	If you want 12v you should look at 12v psu's, not 19v ;) Be sure not to take a really cheap one as it may damage your stuff.

	Maplin do a nice multi voltage laptop-style psu with a selection of 'ends'. Surprisingly they're a competitive price.

	Common as muck at fleamarkets/bootfairs .... 4A capable ones a bit less so, but still not hard to find. Usually supplied with small monitors/TVs. The connector will likely be 5.5mm outer with 2.1mm inner. Should be plentiful on ebay also ...

	it means its capable of 5A... even a 4A laptop PSU wont use the full 4A all the time
