Need a Power Supply fo my Acer Aspire TC-865 NESelecti5 Desktop PC.

Checked with Acer parts providers on replacement of orginal Power Supply Part number= DC.3001B.005 (300 watt) cost= $205.62. That's too much money for a 5 year old PC. Found this power supply on Ebay, the link is listed

The AD at the Top states NEW 480W Acer Aspire tc-865-neselecti3 POWER SUPPLY REPLACE 50N.12 My PC is a Acer Aspire TC-865 NESelecti5 not a Acer Aspire tc-865 neselecti3. My question is will this new Ebay Power Supply still work in my type of PC? It seems to be an ATX type Power Supply. Do I need any special Data or Power cables in addition to what this power supply provides for all connections needed for my type of PC? Thanks for any help provided.

No. Acer part no. searches usually yield pricier vendors/seller than simply searching the Acer model number & part you need. I try to use reliable concessionaires like Am azon & Aliex press for commodity items if possible but will use places like e bay if the vendor seems OK. If it was mine, I'd prolly give KDM a shot due to its price for what I'd consider a commodity part.

I took it to a local PC repair shop. The repair shop replaced the defective Power supply with the same 300 watt Acer type supply Part number= DC.3001B.005 for $160.00.

Seems like you found a good local there, despite the genuine part markup! Thanks for reporting back.

Seems OK. It's nominal 500w vs your old 300w. The genuine Acer 500w part no is
DC.5001B.004 and seems quite a bit cheaper than the old 300w PSU from the usual Acer parts distributors. But still more expensive than your eBay find.

Thanks for the reply. As far as The DC.5001B.004 power supply. It's cost is $149.78. According to the parts listing Compatible Models: GX-785, N50-600, N50-100, PO3-600, N50-600G according to Source IT data base parts listing. So this power supply DC.5001B.004 does not seem to be for my PC Acer Aspire TC-865 NESelecti5.

Some TC-865 PSUs are shared with other models. The 500watt DC.5001B.004 is indeed compatible with the TC-865 according to the field replacement unit PSU parts list shown below.

Thanks Jack for the additional info. When I started to look for a power supply for my PC, I called Acer Customer support 1-866-695-2237. The Agent on the phone told me Acer does not sell or provide parts for their pc's and they outsourced them to 2 different companies. The first company they gave me was Capital Data 1-800-999-4409. No one would answer the phone and I left 2 voice messages on 2 different days. Since then no one ever called me back. The other Company was Source IT 1-866-414-9303 and when I called a guy by the name of Kevin answered. He sent me a link to my gmail account that sent me to their website that had a tool you could look up parts/prices for my type of PC. That is the info I provided to you that you responded too. Thanks again for the info provided because Source IT program does not provide the same proper info. Either way Source IT prices for their parts seem high and that why I was looking at that Ebay power supply. I was just trying to find out if anyone had replaced their Power Supply, had my same type of PC, and used that type of power supply listed in the Ebay link provided in my first message. The Ebay power supply is alot cheaper in price and searching the internet the other prices are much higher. Do you know of any site that sells Acer Parts at reasonable prices?

Thanks Jack for your reply. I got tired of looking for a power supply, so I took it to a local PC repair shop. The repair shop replaced the defective Power supply with the same 300 watt Acer type supply Part number= DC.3001B.005 for $160.00. That's about the same price as I found on Ebay for Acer PS and much less then what Source IT cost. Got PC back on Dec 6, 2023 and everthing is working just fine.
