A4000T power supply connector overheating
« on: November 20, 2006, 04:55:28 PM »
Hi!

Does anybody have a clue about why the power supply connector, the main one going to the motherboard, overheats?

Today I noticed it while removing the CPU card, after having had the computer on for several hours. The connector is quite hot and the plastic looks like it is going yellow...

The power supply is 250 W and I don't have many boards installed, just the following:
- Apollo 4060 turbo
- Picasso IV
- A2065 ethernet
- A2286 bridgeboard
- ISA super I/O controller
- ISA EPROM burner

I think it should be more than sufficient!

It seems I solved by removing the connector, spraying some contact cleaner and then refitting it, now it isn't hot at all!

Later I will have to check the system with more memory on the Apollo, maybe this power supply problem led to some instability.

Thanks for your replies!
