Will this power supply fit, install &amp; function in the HP Pavilion a250n Desktop PC? What is the wattage of the original power supply? Is 400 watts too

You have to look at the power supply you have - if it is 300 you cannot go below, but you can go higher on the power supply. Just make sure it fits in your slot. You can find the watts on your hardware. Hope this helps!

Would think this power supply should do the trick. My system is close to the one you describe and it does fine. Will let you know there is an info message about the fan on the power supply not running at low power moments but will kick in if the unit needs more power.

look at the specs for your power supply if the dimensions are the same or more important can you get it mounted and does it have all the connections you will need the watts should not be lower than the one you are replacing. If it fits and connects everything use it.

This graphics card manufacturers specifications call for a minimum power supply of 500 Watts. In the real world I would suspect that if you have a quality power supply of at least 350 Watts it would probably work. That being said, a 350 - 450 Watt power supply may fail at anytime or prematurely. Additionally, no secondary power connector is required...just the PCI Express slot on your motherboard. Good Luck

Any standard power supply will fit. You will need to determine your overall system requirements before you decide what wattage you will need.

It has a 450 watt power supply. Mine failed in the first week. I had a spare 500 watt PS and I didn't want to return the unit so I just installed my spare.

Sorry to answer a question with another question: Are the HP & Dell power supply voltage & current specs the same? and will the HP power supply male connector fit the Dell female connector? My problem was the male connector didn't fit.

From the following website, http://www.cputopia.com/hp-480w-hp-pavilion-a1330n.html, it says that this power supply is a replacement for the original. When you get it match the connections up and change them one-by-one. You may not use all of the connections. I hope this helps.

Provided there is an open pci slot on the pc (which you can find out by opening it up) and the psu is putting out 400 - 500 watts you should be fine. Upgrading stock PC's can be tricky though, I wouldn't recommend it personally, hard to get it to the standard you want.

Yes, I replaced my old power supply that failed with this model in my Dimension 8400. I believe it is a 350 watt power supply.

You would have to look at the power supply that is currently in your computer, determine if it is an ATX supply (to match this one) and determine its wattage. This information should be on a label on the side of the power supply. If it is both ATX and 250 watts (or less), this power supply will work.

fit in where? It is the same size as your old power supply is so it should fit if you have a normal size tower. Remember to note where everything plugs in when you unplug the old cables so that you can plug the new ones in the same places. The instructions wont help you at all otherwise.

PNY listed the minimum power supply as 400W. I upgrade to a 650w to be safe.You may want to consider the same.

According to PCMag.com the power supply is 450W. I didn't open the case to verify though.

Im using it in a HP small form factor with a 300 watt poser supply and it works great no problems ever. Hope that helps Mine is also SFF. Older Duo Core.

It depends on other factors: Is this part of an upgrade or just a replacement item? The size of the power supply housing is important; it should be the same equivalent size as the original equipment being replaced. If these considerations have been checked; yes it should work just fine.

The stock power supply for your PC is a 300 watt PSU. If you are simply replacing a bad power supply with a new one, then yes this PSU will work in your PC. It will have plently of power for some PC upgrades such as adding another hard drive and another optical drive. There is enough power to handle both. if you are going to do a major upgrade like adding an outrageously powerful graphics card, then I would need more information about the card. However, it should be able to handle most non-upper end graphics cards without a problem.
