power supply
« on: October 11, 2007, 12:32:25 PM »
I got an external 3,5" HDD case and wish to use its PSU for A590 or maybe AmigaCD32.
Its rated 2A@12V and 2A@5V, would it work?

I see, thanks for the warning
I've checked the voltages and they are very close to correct values.
BTW, which should be powered first, A500 or A590?

Well I've done it, I fried A590 by using +12V instead of +5V  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(
don't know how it happened I did checks.
arrgh what an idiot

So I guess its unrepairable now?  :cry:

Amiga reports:
514,product 3 OK
514,product 10 BAD


edit: solved thanks to my friend Chain
 :-)
