Dead 500 power supply
Hello all,
My lovely Amiga 1200 with an internal 2.5" hard drive plus an external zip 100 disk drive,plus a 3.5" external hard drive plus an external floppy drive has a BIG problem.My 500 PSU seems to be dead.When I switch it on nothing powers up and if I put the PSU to my good ear (dont ask about the other one) all I can hear is a high pitched whine.I do have an original 1200 PSU but power wise it sucks as I have these extra pieces of hardware on board. Do you know if it is possible to buy a 500 PSU on its own or do I have to buy a whole machine just to get the power brick. My Miggy is not in a tower as that would defeat the object of having an original computer in the same format as the day it was built.WinUAE is brilliant but it aint a real Miggy.Any help would be appreciated as given the choice of running a PC or a Miggy I will always go with the latter.Many thanks in advance Dave |

Open up the supply, stip everything out and build an old AT power supply into it with the cooling fan glued to the top vent.
Thats what I did anyhoo, albeit with a 1200 supply
