Hi I have a Presario 5000 (5330US) with a broken fan on the PSU. I removed the unit from my computer to a take look, and discovered it was not meant to be taken apart.
The OEM part I need (compaq part: 244166-001) retails for $90+ .
Also it is only 250W.
So my question is, does anyone know if I can use a non-compaq PSU? Someone mentioned to me my PSU looked pretty "thin", so it might be propietary.
And if it is not propietary which PSU should buy (recommendations, wattage, etc)?
Here are some pictures of it, I dont know if it helps or not:
