Well my flatmate picked up some dodgy weird looking slim pc . It had no power plug. Ive never seen this type of conenction, does it connect a psu like a laptop on the outside? It's says 19.5v and is on the far left of the picture.. at least I think it is! the socket has a round hole in the middle surrounded by four marks at the top, bottom, left and right. I'm annoyed I don't know something as simples as this!

Thanks.

Ok, what I'm seeing is:

Left to right.
Far left (blue) is your VGA connector, for your monitor.
Next to that, maybe a USB port for a printer/copier (hard to tell).
Next, green port, ps/2 for mouse.
Purple port, ps/2 for keyboard.
USB ports.
Ethernet.
Speaker and microphone (blue and yellow).

I don't see any other ports. Hope this helps. Clearer image might help too. :)
 
I'll try and get a better image when my batteries recharge. The connection I mean is just to the left of the vga, yeah that tiny thing there. I dont recognise what it is, and I cant see anything else that could be for the power plug.
 
19.5 V is definitely in the laptop voltage range. This seems a little weird to me. I wish I knew exactly why laptops need that higher DC voltage (thinking needing to drive the display and to be able to charge the batteries, but I could be wrong). But if this is a desktop, there are no batteries and there is no display to power. I'll bet a universal laptop power supply would do the job; unfortunately they aren't as cheap as they ought to be.

Is this a dell or hp slimline? Or maybe a thinclient? Many of them have the round hole you are seeing here as a power cord and many use power adapters similar to a laptop we have them here and had them at previous jobs too. Can you provide the model number ect for this machine?
