fair enough.. thank you for your response.

Hi all. i am planning a new build in the next couple of months and I am wondering if I can continue to use my hdplex 400 or if I need to sell and get something to cover power usage. I know there are supply calculators but I don’t believe them to be accurate for actual power draw. potential...

Found out its ground on the outside, live just inside the barrel and the center pin is signal. That's for the brick to relay with the laptop so not needed.

Any idea what the 3 wires coming from the dell brick are? Obviously live and ground.. isn't the other wire a signal wire? How would this be wired for the hdplex? Any help appreciated.

@Josh | NFC well I did some experimenting after I just purchased a new dell brick.. when inserting and moving the cable around the hdplex light goes on and off.. After a bit of wriggling it turns out it's the DC Jack that's broken. So you was correct. Now to order some new parts and make a...

I really appreciate the offer especially knowing how busy you must be. I think I may take you up on that, If u want to take it to pm and we can sort something out?

Thanx for the comment Josh. I will try and get one of gurys modded bricks then.. I need to find a way to test the hdplex without spending another 100 on another brick before I know for sure.

That would do the trick.. how did u wire it up as it doesnt output 12V?

Yes it's a standard unit.. I have messaged gury about a modded block.. have also seen the dynamo mini.. so many good sounding options to the hdplex.

It seems quite simple.. maybe too simple? Would be nice to hear some thoughts from someone with more technical electronic knowledge? @Josh | NFC

I totally didn't post the website. https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/3207-tutorial-dual-330w-ac-adapter-mod/& This is the tutorial with component list.

Came across this and wondered if this seems like a sensible solution to obtaining enough wattage with out stressing a single brick too far for a HDplex 400w.

Yes this is true. I can return it if they are covered under warranty? I will look into a g-unique. I have heard of it in one of Josh's videos recently.

As ots all unplugged I will try it again tonight.. though surely if it was tripped the blue illumination wouldn't be on the barrel connector still? Why would the hdplex die.. it's a 400w model and its only a few months old..

well as an update i was playing pubg for less than 2 hours tonight and my pc just turned off.. no smoke.. no smells.. wouldnt turn back on. checked everything and no visible damage.. luckily i have my atx psu laying around so im running off that... The dell brick still has the led illumination...
