Hello Ibrock, just purchased PS for 100D from pcpowercooling.com.  These guys know what they are doing and supply Dell and others.  Cheap, also.  Good luck. 2bear4

2bear,

I went and checked out the site, even called and spoke to them with all the specs from my PS and the guy told me he couldn't help, said they had nothing resembling what I needed.  I asked him if it could be fixed and he gave me the impression it would be difficult due to parts being hard to find.  Guess I am just stuck with this PC with no way to run it.  Too bad because it ran great.  I will keep searching...thanks, lb

This is why combining the WebPC and Smartstep boards was not the brightest idea. The WebPC, unlike the Smartstep, is a dektop pc. The powersupply is some custom internal job, and the fans in them like to die. The fans can be replaced, or oiled to bring them back to life. It sounds like this persons is just plain dead. Good luck finding a replacement. I mean that for real, not being sarcastic here.

Could we get a sticky thread describing what a the WebPC and Smartstep are. It might help avoid confusion in the future.

For Ronc,  I agree that the Smartstep can be confusing, however I own a Smartstep desktop; 100D.  I'm not familiar with the laptop of that name, but know they exist.  Maybe we all need to learn more.  A common PS shouldn't be hard to find for the desktop.  2bear4

Thanks guys for the info.  I may get hold of the company that sells the ac/dc converter tomorrow and see if that would work for my webpc.  And yes, it is totally fried, I opened it and looked and saw burned marks everywhere.  Best I know is it took a power surge, maybe it was the fan, I don't know.  At any rate it needs replaced and Dell is no help.  I have been to Ebay and to several other boards too with no luck.  Is anyone interested in a webpc that is fine except for the PS.  Let me know.

Maybe I can help. on ebay Contact Seller: Rebelsannonomous   they might just have what your looking for      Rebelsanonymous@aol.com       

Thanks Purple Haze, I emailed him and he does have the part.  I am working with him to arrange payment and shipping.  I appreciate your help, maybe now I can at least get the little thing running again, it is a good computer when it works.  Thanks again, LB
