Hi Sellam
Finding the polarity is usually easy. Most setups
connect the ground directly to the power leads. The
positive lead would go through regulators and parts
to the ground. So, unless your machine has a direct
short, an ohmmeter should be all that is needed
to determine the negative lead.
Thanks. Figured it out using this message. Now I'm trying to find a
power supply that can fit into the connector hole. The connector is set
deep into the case. I got one of these barely working with a 12V supply
that could fit but it only blinked on for a split second a few times.
Ugh.

It's too late and past my bedtime for me to give
cognizant answers :-)
Can you just put a voltmeter to it in the morning and let me know?
Thanks!
