Hello everyone,
I just acquired an HP 6115A. I've seen many posts about this power supply but nothing about the strange power cord issue I'm having. I'm in Canada on a 120V grid, in case that makes a difference. Anyway, it seems that I did not get the original power cord and I can't get any standard C13 connector to fit into what appears to be a standard C14 inlet. I am able to get it in far enough that if I press it downwards, the live and neutral pins make contact and I can get power to the unit. However, I can't get it in all the way in to fit snuggly and securely.
It appears that the ground pin on the unit may the wider/thicker than normal and this is what I think is preventing the connector from going all the way in. Does anyone know if this is not a standard C14 inlet and if so, what it is? The only information I was able to find in the service manual was that the original power cord was an HP original, part number 8120-1384 but no specs on it. I think the inlet is part of the Power Module, part number 5060-1189 but no other information on that either.
