Review on Dell Optiplex Supply L235P 01 PS 5231 5DF LF by Jeremy Monroe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Two Dell Optiplex 780 SFF computers brought back to life! Very pleasant experience

My business uses seven Dell 780 computers which, despite their age, are more than adequate for our needs. If one fails, we have others as backups to take its place. Within the last 12 months, two of the active had power outages (PS). For the first one I went to the nearest Best Buy hoping to buy a new PS but failed miserably. They had a very meager supply of horsepower. Basically these were ordinary ones that didn't physically fit, didn't have the right voltage or connections. They actually wanted me to buy one of these and see if it worked, but it didn't. Then I looked at the Revain and it was a perfect match, voltages, pre-wired wires and wires complete with connectors all exactly the same as the original. I made a purchase and two days later the part was in my hands. I was a bit nervous about an error during installation so I downloaded a good 780 repair guide from Dell with good pictures and step by step instructions. I saved it in PDF format. I tried to attach it to this review but unfortunately no PDF is supported, only photo or video files. You can go to the Dell website and download it with little time and effort. Go and win!

Pros
  • PS-5231-5DF-LF
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly
