Powersocket pinouts for A1200?
« on: February 01, 2006, 07:48:31 PM »
Hi folks,

any one able to pass on info on the power connector into the A1200? I seem to be having problems with a dodgy connection (I'm not using the standard CBM power unit (which pased away some time ago) but a bigger unit) and I think it is the actual connector on the main board, cause every time I wiggle the power lead sometimes the HD light doesn't come on then sometimes it just flickers and doesnt sound as if the HD is liking power fluctuations. I am hoping to bypass the connector and then hardwire power into the A1200, but I can't seem to find any pinout info.

Is it the same as the A500?

many thanks, Ian

OK,
so I have located my A500 psu and noted down pinout info.

Now can anyone identify the type (and a possible source) of pcb power supply connector, preferably a UK stockist if possible. Since I've now decided to try to replace the on-board p[ower connector rather than wire power directt to the pcb.

I've scanned the Maplin catalogue without much success, thanks, Ian.

Your feedback helps,

I was hoping (really) to find an exact same replacement for the CBM square 5 pin power connector - I guess not. So you have given me a few ideas, thanks,

Ian.
