Ok, so I'm trying to fix a computer that had a blown psu, the computer is an emachine et1831-07. I couldn't find a PSU for that specific computer so I asked a friend for help, because I had the feeling not all 250 watt PSU are the same, there have to be differences, however this friend said they are mostly universal and told me to order this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA8U24RK6130&Tpk=9SIA8U24RK6130
However it is 20 pin instead of 24 pin like the motherboard in the computer, also no sata connectors for HD or DVD/CD drive, just molex.
I read you can sometimes make the 20 pin work with a 24 pin motherboard, but is there any way to make this PSU work for the computer or should I return it and if so, can someone tell me some PSUs that would be good for this computer?
