A600 120W PSU Mod

[sweetlilmre]

Hi,

My A600 PSU was starting to smell a little funny (hot plastic / circuit board) so I decided to replace the internals with an iTuner PW-200-M PSU and a
AC to 12V converter.

To do this I:

1. Removed the old PSU circuit board.
2. Dremmeled out 2 of the circuit board stands.
3. Opened the AC to 12V converter case.
4. Soldered the original 220V leads onto the converter.
5. Soldered the PW-200-M leads directly to the converter.
6. Placed the converter into the A600 PSU case, fixed in place with double sided tape.
7. Placed the PW-200-M into the A600 PSU case, again afixing with double sided tape.
8. Soldered the PW-200-M to ATX converter to the appropriate leads on the A600 power connector.
9 Put it all back together!

Hi,

Yeah these are pretty cool PSUs. I was involved in a HW project at work, so I have a couple left over. I used one to do the mod described in the tutorial forum, but I'm going to change it to this:

Pico PSU

so that I can fit more into the desktop :-)
