GRRR!!! Eyetech, haven't even bothered to email me back, despite me emailing them twice!  :-x  How lame is that. I took another look at the instructions on do-it-yourself ATX PSU. But that sort of hacking stuff is way over my head me thinks. Can anyone else fix one up for me, i will pay good money! :-)

Regards,

@Stedy,

Thanks for that link. But i really wan't to make use of the ATX PSU i have got at the moment. I will use that link, or get a replacement from Power Computing, as a last ditch effort.

Cheers

Hello guys,

Right. I have now got the ATX - AT adaptor thingy (cheers kgrach!). The problem is, i have connected the adaptor to the PSU (i think) but i can't seem to connect the power switch of the original power tower to the loose wires of the adaptor. I have tried, but when i turn on the switch (of the power tower) nothing happens! Have i done this all wrong? Could it be anything fried (like the kettle cable?), do i need to get a porper power switch to fit the adaptor? I will be very gratefull of some replies.

Cheers,

Hi CU

have you switched-ON the rear switch of the PSU? (must be always ON)

Yes!

What happens, when you put togheter the 2 "PowerON-ground" wires directly?

Ciao

The what now?!  :-? I just connected the bare wires of the power tower switch and connected it to the loose sockets of the adaptor. I take it, it had to be connected to there, as there were no where else for them to go.

Hi CU_AMIGA,

. . .erm!! sorry but i haven't understood quite nothing :-)

The OLD PowerTower switch, had 4 wires . . .right?

Yes, plus the earth cable.

In a AT PSU enviroment, it switch ON/OFF the 220 volts AT PSU.

Now you have an ATX PSU, right? with an ATX2AT adapter, right?

Yes! :-)

Are there 2 wires from the ATX-PSU (the PSU-ON ones), right?

So, only for testing pourpose . . . try to put togheter those 2 wires.

Ciao

You mean the two spare wires on the ATX - AT adaptor. The guy who sold me the adaptor also said the same thing so i take it that's what you mean. Can i use that method as a permenant setup? I will have a closer look at my power tower switch and see if it connects. Thanks for the help. Watch this space!

Hello,

Got the adaptor working. It was a fuse in the plug that blown, so i replaced it, then it worked! :-) Unfortunately, the PPC seems to be dead, and also the 5 pin power supply adaptor thing for the a1200 has now broke so i need to get that repaired somehow. How much would it cost to repair or buy another 5 pin adaptor thingy and what can i do about the PPC, can it be repaired? How much would it cost?

Cheers,

Okay. I now have my stock Amiga 1200 working fully again now. But when i boot with the PPC card in, i get the same problems as before. Is there anything else i can do or check? I have tolf the Amiga Repair Centre about it and they said it didn't sound too good.... it'll cost around £140 to repair! :-(

I don't wan't to sound rude or anything, but i don't think thats going to help! :-)
