a600 PSU random reset
Hi, I have two a600 PSU to power two amigas. One is a600+fury+a604n+indivision the other is a1200+mtek68030/8mb+indivision. I experience some random crash and it's only since I had a second amiga that I realized it was the PSU that might be at fault as if I swap them it bring the random crash to the other computer.
I opened the problematic PSU hoping to see something obvious, like those infamous swelled capacitors, but unfortunately everything look pristine. I know it's not a warranty they are not dry and I'm not going desoldering each of them to test. I took some pictures if you care to try and find something, please let me know. From there I believe my options are (1) to buy one of those new 55watts psu from an online amiga store. (2) I dont really like the idea to mod an at/atx psu as it's just one mistake short to blow the amiga. All fan are noisy anyway and I mainly enjoy amiga to listen Paula sing in all her rugged glory. (3) Recap the faulty PSU, is it cheaper than to buy a new one ? Does the risk that the problem is somewhere else is high ? Maybe I could start to just recap some of the cap that are more prone to be problematic, any suggestion ? (4) Anything I overlook ? Last edited by elz; 15 March 2019 at 20:29. |
