I was wondering if anyone can recommend a power supply for the Optiplex 7040 Mini Tower (MT).
I see some 7040 MT's have:
L240EM-00 DHVJN LITE-ON
and others have
D240EM-00 0M1C3 DELTA ELECTRONICS
I see replacement power supplies range from $25 to $65, with reviews all over the place. Since I can't seem to find the OEM power supply new, can someone recommend a good replacement?
I should have mentioned that this isn't an upgrade, it's strictly a replacement for a bad power supply. And I'd prefer a power supply that's specifically for the 7040 - i.e. it lists the 7040 as a compatible system in the description.
Note the psu is TFX form factor for 7040 MT. some vendor lists the slim 240w psu for 7040 SFF by mistake. In Dell original stock configuration 240w is strictly for MT and 180w for SFF. https://clascsg.uconn.edu/download/specs/O7040.pdf
The upgrade I mentioned works in MT or DT models and is from Dell and you can see in the video it works fine. Given the age of the unit Ebay and Amazon etc are the only choices for power supply since Dell doesnt make them anymore.
