I looked at Wall-Mart for the universal power supply. Yes It is external but what they told me was that I had to get it from Gateway or buy it online. I have tried every extra 12 volt that I can get my hands on but can't find the right one that will fit apperantly it's something that I am just stuck until I get the one that came with the original moniter or find one that will plug in. The moniter has the cord that hooks into the back of the tower it's a long skinny blue one, but the power cord hooks in on the back of the moniter. Thanks for trying to help me. Sorry if I sound like a toatl idiot it's my first time on here and I am still learning how this site works
Well now if you go asking shop folk for this -they wont use their imagination, just in case they get it wrong and you sue. Just be sure that the voltage you need is - what it is - 12V did you say Then go the the electrical isles small items and you will see usually in a bubble pack on the rack a power supply- with a strip of various connectors. The power supply will have a slider switch to select vorltages from 1.5-3-4.5-6-7.5-9-12 volts. These will also have a coloured patch. The connectors are also coloured on the tip. Pick the connector colour that matched the voltage colour- plug in into the cord and lug it into the monitor . And it does not work Huh! Then unplug the connector from the cord and turn it around plug it in- then it it will work.

Well we tried - but I reckon there is a non specific answer out there.
I don't think gear i nour two countries is that different.
OK you have 120 volt mains and we have 240 volt over here but low voltage stuff is much the same.
A possible final solution.
Having established that a common universal power supply has the oomph to run the monitor
[Remember check the monitor spec plate for volts/amps required]- and matched it to a suitable power supply.
You are then left with the plug/socket problem
This picture illustrates what I propose.
