I am trying to find a replacement a/c adapter power cord. The back of my tv says Input rating:16VDC 3.6A. All I can find are adapters that are rated 16V 4.5A 72W. will this be a problem? I even looked on Dell.com, with no luck. The Date of Mfg is March 2004, & service tag is B4C2W31.

SOURCE: I have just come into possession of 5 e200 w/out power cord.

I found the following description of the power brick:

I did a Google search about DELL's warranty. They are very much like other manufactures.

Depending on the product type, you basicly get a 30 day direct exchange if the unit dies within the first 30 days. After that, you get an exchange of a re-conditioned set for up to 1 year. To go beyond the 1 year, you need to have bought a service agreement with them. The maximum for some specific products is up to 4 years. The do not fix your unit and return it. They give you an exchange unit that is also used and was serviced by them (their service contractor).

Depending on the product, they give a limited period of time free 24/7 product support over the phone. This is really more useful for computers. There is not much a user can do with a TV set other than a few menu settings, connecting devices to it, and the power switch.

Warranty laws are different between the different countries. In the US, and in Canada, the warranty policies can vary from state to state, or province to province depending on the local consumer laws. Canada and the UK have more strict warranty laws that in the US.

SOURCE: dvi input for watching tv

the DVI input must be HDCP compatible in order for HDMI to work. It's a DRM encryption protocol. Condolences. Blame hollywood for it. The monitor model is too old to have had HDCP support built in to the DVI input.

SOURCE: ARPI your the guru please HELP ME I just need to fix this TV

Dell will replace it if it's less than 3 yrs old but apparently their tech support people are clueless about this and have to be told what they need to look up. The replacement is a nice gesture except if you're like me and paid >$1,000 for this more than 3 yrs ago. I have had TV's > 20 yrs and don't reacall major problems with any.

These instructions were posted on the Dell Community forum http://en.community.dell.com/forums/
