Very strange and annoying problem with my A500 PSU

[DrDekker]

If this is the same PSU that you've had connected when experiencing the problems detailed in your other thread (or even if it's not for that matter), just desolder the amiga power cord and throw the PSU in the bin, then connect the power cord to an AT PSU using a chocolate block connector (details on the web) and hide it out of sight.
Although a A500 PSU is better than a A1200 version, it's still pretty poor and just not worth messing around with (unless you really must have the 'brick' enclosure).

An AT PSU will have oodles of power to spare and will be much more reliable.

@AmigaMance,

I've just looked at the connections I've used to hook up to my AT PSU.  Using the wires off the AT's 6-wire plug, connect the following:

AT black(1) - Amiga black (thick wire) (0V/Gnd)

AT black(2) - Insulate, not required

AT yellow - Amiga brown (+12V)

AT red - Amiga red (+5V)

AT blue - Amiga white (-12V)

Amiga shield (black thin wire) - Insulate, not connected.

As far as I know, the shield wire can be connected to the PSU's metal casing - but I haven't bothered to do so and there haven't been any ill effects.
