I was given a 15HPB monitor withoput the power supply. I was told that it didn't work. I do not know if it was the power supply or the monitor itself that is bad. I don't see an easy way to open it up. Does anyone know the power connection on the PS/2 connector (+12V, +5V, grounds). I picked up a similar power supply (+5V, +12V, at the required 2A) for $5 at a hamfest. However this one has a regular keyboard connector. What are the odds that a old style keyboard connector to a PS/2 connector would match the power supply pins. I don't want to spend $35 on ebay for the correct supply, if the monitor could be bad.

The monitor requires BOTH 12V and 5V @ 2 amps with a PS/2 (keyboard type connector). A single voltage p/s will npot work.
You seem to have an oddball monitor if what you describe is correct. The power supply to a monitor[Display Screen is that what you mean?] is either direct to main power- in which case the power cord is either built in with a power plug for wall socket, or has a socket on the back for a separate main power cord.
Or is powered from a low voltage converter that delivers low volts usually via a coaxial plug like this illustration
PS2 connection does dot come into the equation as far as I know unless you have got hold of something unusual. Tell you what take a shot of the back of the monitor and lets have a look see mean while here's is a shot of a typical low voltage power supply available anywhere.
