Somebody asked if you guys could help. Anyone know the power connections for an IBM 9516 LCD colour monitor? The power connector is a small (1cm) plug with 4 pins in it. All the case says is 20V@2.3A.
bothered.

Closest I can find in UK stuff that is IBM official is this:
T541L 15.0in Hybrid TFT LCD (15.0in/380mm VIS) TCO-99 Stealth Black Colour Monitor
£247.00
£290.23
Estimated Selling Price excl. VAT
Estimated Selling Price incl. VAT
Model Name: 9512HBL
Part Number: T12LBUK
US numeric equivalent is 9503XXX. The 9 is ThinkVision LCD, the 5 is 15", and the last two are region or country codes. The Part Number is country specific part with the last two chars in example meaning UK as in United Kingdom, the model name is general subseries, size (for monitors) and region target general number or voltage input code.
So, see if he can locate the Part Number on the monitor (probably a T series part number, in this case a ThinkVision LCD monitor), or if he has a voltage adapter\transformer what the FRU number on that is. I am at this point thinking that this is an LCD, see if he can tell us if that is wrong or right. And if not, anyuthing else in the way of info that you can get. searching for 9516 comes up with NADA in US and UK IBM sites. Typically, the voltages vary by country, and are transformed-- sometimes this is an external transformer sold as an FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) part and the FRU number is used for ordering or can be. with Part Number I maight be able to do a parts search, but if not, what part of UK is he in, as IBM has a phone contacts DB worldwide list I can crawl and at least locate someone in his country or at worst region that is a repair center and repair centers CAN sell FRU parts local to them if they choose-- both parts and products and FRUs are country or region local listed, the country subsites for IBM are only 100+ in number. So, country this person is in would help narrow things a lot also.
All this assumes he is not actually talking about the panel itself, in perhaps a laptop, as to get the power circuitry in a laptop fixed the laptop PSU needs to be replaced unless it is the charger\transofrmer that is feeding the wrong voltage or surge blown. Ideally, to look up that, you use the FRU from the Power Transformer for the laptop.
What it looks like he gave you for power voltage is the charging voltage and amperage used internal to panel, and the four are generally a safety or different voltage circuit in combo with a 20V circuit for panel power. To get pinouts I need more info of different kinds as described above
The IBM 9516-Bxx 16.1-inch TFT LCD Color Monitor is now available in a new Multimode version. It is available stealth gray to complement the IBM IntelliStation PWS (6888, 6898, 6899) as well as pearl white to match CDT PCs. The 9516-Bxx attaches to both PC and non-PC platforms, such as RS/6000, HP and Sun workstations.
The power supply is-
9516 AC Power Adapter 09J4303
He's just wondering if he can get or build a power supply for this.(IBM want over $200 for it) But he needs, and can't get, the connections.
bothered.

Ok, on the monitor, the lable for 20+ if there is one might be connected by a line pointing to one pin. Typically the thin LCDs use the external transformer box as TWO voltage drops are being done typically in an IBM 4-pin, and I suspect this is so here. The other SHOULD be to 5 volts for the circuit boards.
So, if can find positve and negative, those should be left and right on monitor one circuit for top pair, and one circuit for bottom pair. Plus should be always on left or always on right for each pair.
Easiest way is to package or use seperately a 24 Volt dropdown transformer with a circuit inline that drops to 20 (maybe a rheostat adjuted and taped in place) and a 5 volt transformer fed directly.
There is nothing in an LCD normally that would need 12 volts unless it has a fan with a visible outlet. Problem is in the UK I do not know who sells linear power supplies, though JameCo can ship worldwide and stocks rheostats and linear Power Supplies and small transformers in many output voltage types. Depends on how good he is with linear Power Supplies and circuit design whether this is doable. He actually got something that is not meant to alsways be standaalone, that is why the Power Supply is so expensive (it is a backwards engineering effort to let the particular LCD be more widely used, and with IBM availability and quantity sold per turn cycle are used a LOT in pricing).

If he has the original PS, he should be able to just cut the connector off, and build a ps. If not, it may take some looking to find the right connector... you got anything similar to Radio Shack (electronics store- NOT a computer store, although they sell comps too... they sell stuff like potentiometers, capacitors, LEDs, etc.)? I'd go somewhere like that and see if you can find the plug. Getting the plug is the hardest part- if you can do that, then there's no reason why a power supply can't be built. (oh, you'll need to get the polarity too... unless you want to smoke the LCD- literally)
