Power supply to PC

Options
Hi, I hope someone can help me!
I have been having a prob with my pc (it is a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P approx 3 years old) and a friend has had a look and tested various parts and reckons it is the power supply and is happy to fit a new one, I just need to find one!

The model number is Lite-On PS-6351-3F DC output 350w, I have searched a few sites such as Maplins etc and cannot find one with that model number, is there anything anyone knows of that is compatible? (It must have 4 screws apparently!)

    I thought nowadays all internal psu's were standard. They all have 4 screws
    Just get a 400+W one

    Nothing complicated. All standard PSU's have a common mounting - 4 screws as described. Before buying a new one check that the one you have has normal coupling (usually a standard 20-pin mobo connector and an additional 4-pin connector for the CPU.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    also might be worth opening it up and counting the number and type of power connectors it has comming out of it actually connected to things around your PC... but unless you buy the absolute cheapest model they usually have a good number and worst case you'd need the odd £1-2 adapter cable from ebay

    perhaps someone knows a good link to a page that lists all the different types of ATX PSU power 'plug' types with photos?

    If it's a standard ATX PSU (typically 150x86x140mm) replacing it should be a doddle. If you need help telling the various connectors apart, refer to this.

    What problems are you getting?

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that
