I found the A2000 power supply pin out online. My supply measures as follows (spec - my measurement)

+5 - +5.18
+12 - +11.83
-12 - -12.12
+5 USER - +5.17
-5 - -10.65

My +12 volts is a little low, at 11.83 volts. Abd my -5 volts is way off.... COuld that be a problem?


 Yes, you have a problem: those +5V lines are way too high. They will burn the custom chips, but the PSU is knackered, anyway.

 Why don't you swap the guts of this PSU for a regular AT/ATX unit?

 Don't know how? :rtfm:
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
