My Amiga 500 power supply died.....

Meh.  Can't possibly be as bad as what this guy did:  :huh:

OMG!!!!

Whoever did that should be banned from ever holding a soldering iron again!

[curtis]

Anyone know any place to get hold of the Amiga power connector, if I could get hold of them I could make cheap ATX to Amiga adaptors with a power switch and give to Amiga users who need em for shipping cost

Id love to have broken empty Amiga power-brick cases to make tons of ATX-psu convertions but scouting for broken ones would take to much time :/

I think mechy has the square power connectors.  Yep, some else beat me to the link!

Best example i have ever seen for what NOT to do. heh

Sadly, no.  You can't find them under DIN 5-pin Square on Mech's A4000T.com web site sold singularly or in packs of five

But the world spins on...

?? these?

Sadly there is no way to make a mATX 500W dual voltage PSU bought off eBay for $24 to connect to an A500/600/1200 by buying a connector from A4000T.com or using an old connector cord from a dead A500 PSU, and a $2 on-off switch from RadioShack

dan,
   Matx is usually 3 voltages, +5,+12,-12 and is missing the -5(not needed for amiga 500/600/1200) should easily work with 500,600,1200 - at least the ones i built do work

Maybe i misread this?

Yes, I'm afraid that it is impossible to use the 500W Hercules black gloss, silent and as small as an original A500/600/1200 PSU to make a 25A +5V (with equivalent 12V Amps) replacement that with the addition of a simple RadioShack on-off switch between the green and a black wire to make a PSU that will handle even the most expanded demands of one of the above computers, like the three I have done by adding one of the DIN 5-pin connectors I bought from you.

Will the horror never end?

Apparently it's opposite day?
