Hi,

I have an A4000 from the UK, but now I live in North America. The question is, is it possible to convert my PSU from 220V to 110V, or do I need to buy a replacement PSU?

I already have a 110V to 220V step-up transformer which does the job, but this is a bit inconvenient as it's shared between 3 other devices.

If a conversion is not possible, would a replacement even work, as the machine is PAL?

Thanks,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,

If you decide to try an atx psu mod and arent't comfortable doing it yourself, I'm in the Montreal area and could offer some help if you like, just let me know.

If you go for mini-ATX PSU add some capacitor. They might be unstable by themself.

If you installed your Amiga in your laundry room you could unplug the dryer and plug in your Amiga when you are not doing laundry. Just kidding, that is bad advice and won't work - especially if you have a natural gas dryer.

Hi Merc,

Thank you very much for the kind offer - I think I'll take you up on it!

I'll follow this up with a private message so we can arrange a meet.
