Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

I picked up the last A500 power supply from mechy and it arrived in nothing flat!

Now to do the surgery on the plug...

Thanks again mechy!

Update on the surgery to change the plug over for my A500.

Folks, don't forget to slip the sleeve over the cord BEFORE you solder the leads to the plug!

What a rookie mistake.

I forgot this little bit of information and when I attempted to desolder the leads from the plug, little sucker overheated and the pins warped on me!

Fortunately, mechy has more in stock...

This time I'm ordering a spare just in case!!!

Brother, I hear ya talking!

I had my iron cranked up a little more than I had planned due to another project that required more blowtorch than soldering iron.

It's been adjusted down appropriately...

:furious::furious::furious: Don't even has how many times i did that in the ~200 odd psu's i soldered .:furious::furious::furious:

good thing no one was around to hear me cussing.

btw, theres 1 more cd32 psu on the cart. i didn't realize i had it..

i have kept 10 unmodded ones back for me and for any warranty purposes.

sorry to hear you had trouble with the connector melting, theres a fine line there.. use a 25W iron or less and just barely tin your leads with solder, it will make it go better, if you have a flux pen add a bit to the din sockets.work fast but make sure u have a good connection, especially on the 5v one!
