A1200 tower PSU issue - help
« on: August 07, 2012, 12:03:32 AM »
I have an A1200 that I towered in a Noblesse tower from Revanche LLC some years ago.

Its PC power supply since died. I went to replace it but found that no modern PSUs have the Six Pin Auxiliary Power Cable needed to mate with the custom cable that the tower came with, that plugs, in turn, into the A1200's rear power input.

I bought a standard PSU and wired it up to fit with the end from the dead PSU, but now I am having issues. My A1200 won't boot -- sits on grey screen most of the time. I think it's a power issue.

Where can I get either a PC PSU that has that Six Pin Auxiliary power connector OR a more modern cable to mate with a current PC PSU and plug into the A1200 back input for power.

Yes, I am feeding power into the A1200 mobo via the floppy power connector.

Thanks.

If you can wait a week im pretty sure i have one of those that you can have, all you need to do is pay the postage. I going to the airport in the next half hour for the family holiday but will have a look for it ( i think it is in the loft ) when i get back.


Sounds great, thanks!
