[SOLVED] ASUS VivoPC K20CD Power Supply?

[samueljac31]

Hello everyone, I got an ASUS K20CD desktop, and realised it doesn't use the typical PSU to power up the motherboard, it is powered with the laptop adapter instead. My question - is it possible to upgrade with a normal desktop PSU? Or is this PC even upgradable in any way? Having lost the adapter I am worried of using a non original adapter to power this up. I saw a PWR SATA on the motherboard but only has 4 pin, was originally used to power up the DVD Drive if I'm not wrong.

Thanks! Appreciate any information!

This motherboard is not made to use with standard PSU, there is no 24-pin connector.

You might be able to upgrade the CPU or RAM (refer to the user manual).

You can use a high quality replacement adapter, for example Walmart has this one
