TS, you better off going to Sim Lim Tower with existing adapter and find one with same voltage/current/tip?

Thanks, will try to make it down but hard to fine the time to do this.

"Output Adaptor Jack size : 5.5mm x 2.5-2.1mm Compatible"

Thanks, but is there an easy way to tell what the jack size is for my Xiaomi power cord?

I checked the specs page for my model (https://www.mi.com/global/mi-23.8-desktop-monitor-1c/specs/) and it didn't tell me what is the jack size.

You will have to bring the old one and eyeball the difference or measure it with a ruler. Usually these specs are not provided.

Thank you - now I understand why one of the users said I had to go down to Sim Lim.

you can place a ruler across the output jack for your XiaoMi power cord to determine it's inner and outer diameters.

Thanks. Can I confirm, if the specs on Shopee says "Output Adaptor Jack size : 5.5mm x 2.5-2.1mm Compatible",

That means,

A = 5.5 mm
B = 2.1 mm (diameter of small circle)
C = 2.5 mm (diameter of big circle)

Am I right?

C = 5.5 mm
B = 2.5 mm

The other size for B is 2.1 mm but this does not seem to be the case from your pic. The Shopee specs probably meant that a pin designed for 2.1 mm hole will also work with the adapter which is 2.5 mm.

From what you two said, it seems like the inner diameter is the same, just the outer diameter is different, that's why can be 2.1-2.5mm. Must confirm with the seller.

And if that is the case, your socket can fit an outer diameter of 2.5mm?
