Looking for a power cord [Compaq Armada 7370DMT]

sj45410

So I tried to find a power cord a few years ago for a laptop I found at a thrift store, but I gave up after a few weeks of trying. I ended up ordering one from a (then-to-me-unknown) defunct website and had to work out a refund with PayPal. Does anyone know of a compatible charger or some sort of workaround I can use to actually get this laptop working?

It uses a 4-pin power cord and has a series 2911 battery. If you have any information, please let me know. As far as I know, it's a pretty obscure model.

You might have to dig deep and look at other models but as long as the power specs match, or are as close as possible, you should be good. Hell if you really get desperate, you may have to find a similar spec on with a different plug and splice your 4 pin on there. If I'm not mistaken Dell used that same style plug.

For power secs, they're usually on the bottom of the laptop on a sticker.

Varu, found one specifically for the 7370DMT he has, and it has 7400 listed, so that would be correct. $48 is pretty hefty but when it's a proprietary plug and how old it is, youre kind of forced to pay it.

It has a non-standard plug?
I am afraid you are $crewed for any hopes of paying less than $40.
But still ,I am rather jealous of your find

It's been 3 months, did you find something?

I found this on eBay from Wisconsin. Asking $55 for the original AC adapter. You could try offering $35.
