Power jack connector

Hello potential help (and others...)
I have a 29V power supply with a male jack output. Since it is dead, I'm looking for a replacement, but everything I find has a female jack output... Perhaps the solution is to replace the output jack, but I believe that in DC, the polarity has to be respected... Can someone give me a brief lesson??
Thank you very much

    Hello
    Unfortunately, I can't say more.
    The label just confirms that the output is in direct current (symbol - with the 3 dots below) and not alternating, so there is indeed a positive + and a negative - .
    Sometimes the wire is marked with a fine white or red line or a groove for the +
    Cheers

    Hello
    Generally speaking, power supplies do not have a Jack output; the Jack format is reserved for audio.
    Power supplies are equipped with male power connectors because the ports in computers are female connectors (otherwise, they would stick out of the computer ;-).
    I mention computers because that’s where you posted your request...
    Could you provide us with the specifications of your machine instead?
    We’ll be able to assist you more easily.
    See you!

    Thank you Macintosh for the quick response... I am confused about my incomplete request: The chosen forum is indeed not the right one but I couldn't find anything that corresponds to me and I assumed that the chargers worked on the same principle. My charger supplies a battery for a motorized recliner and the battery's charging input is what I associate with a female jack since the charger's output is a male jack (with a single ring), hence my idea of soldering a male jack instead of a female one on a new charger... but I do not know the polarity to be respected.

    Hello
    Indeed, this is not a computer component and your manufacturer seems to have opted to use a market connector (cheap) for its power supply.
    Without more information about your model, a conventional power supply would suggest that the tip of the jack would be positive and the sleeve and/or shielding would be negative. But only a view of your power supply (label) and wiring, or actual measurement, can tell.
    Cheers
