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.

one of these... cut the end off of it and wire your plugs end to it, getting the polarity rite, and jobs a good'un |

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
