Title: A600 120W PSU Mod
Post by: sweetlilmre on October 19, 2007, 09:12:34 PM
Hi,

My A600 PSU was starting to smell a little funny (hot plastic / circuit board) so I decided to replace the internals with an iTuner PW-200-M (http://www.mini-box.com/PW-200M-DC-DC-power-supply?sc=8&category=13) PSU and a
AC to 12V converter (http://www.mini-box.com/110w-12v-8-5A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter?sc=8&category=13).

To do this I:

1. Removed the old PSU circuit board.
2. Dremmeled out 2 of the circuit board stands.
3. Opened the AC to 12V converter case.
4. Soldered the original 220V leads onto the converter.
5. Soldered the PW-200-M leads directly to the converter.
6. Placed the converter into the A600 PSU case, fixed in place with double sided tape.
7. Placed the PW-200-M into the A600 PSU case, again afixing with double sided tape.
8. Soldered the PW-200-M to ATX converter to the appropriate leads on the A600 power connector.
9 Put it all back together!

nice!!!!

I see they also have PW-200-M, 200w output, 12v input DC-DC Power Supply, optional P4-ATX Cable (http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl;jsessionid=ac112b2a1f4325043116f801400f920eafc10548f445.e3eSbNyQc3mLe34Pa38Ta38PaN50?sc=8&category=13&it=A&id=301)
I wonder if this can power a ppc A4000D....

EDIT: damn it can't.... +5v - 8A  :-(

Hi,

Yeah these are pretty cool PSUs. I was involved in a HW project at work, so I have a couple left over. I used one to do the mod described in the tutorial forum, but I'm going to change it to this:

Pico PSU (http://www.mini-box.com/PicoPSU-80-WI-32V)

so that I can fit more into the desktop :-)
