Description: This is an old A2000 that had broken PSU. I've replaced it with ATX. I also replaced floppy drive with PC one. Not seen here are: 5,25" FDD and 50Mb HDD both covered in rust. Amazingly HDD works just fine. here is the high res version Picture Stats: Views: 2118 Filesize: 281.92kB Height: 768 Width: 1024 Posted by: orange at October 13, 2006, 09:03:21 AM Image Linking Codes

| orange Posts:2794 | December 11, 2007, 07:04:34 AM the red thing is kickstart switch. I have used some rust remover (acid probably) and then zinc spray. it doesn't look very good, but at least it should prevent further rusting |

Unfortunately two wires could not fit in them, so I just used that heatshrink tube to isolate them, but it looks OK to me. I'll post a photo about it, soon. Still, I wish I could repair that old PSU, though new one is probably safer and better quality. PS. Of course, I bought it second hand with rust and all.. IIRC, it was 10 euros. OTOH, that new Chieftec 300W PSU cost me about 40 euro.. [EDIT] here is closer look on connector. |
