Molex power connector question

• HDD WD20EARS to HPE 112Y - power to SATA power connectors - only P4 Molex available?

  Hi all

  I bought a new drive HARD for Western Digital (WD20EARS) and when I went to install in my HPE 112y

  I saw that the harness for my existing WD10EADS had the usual black SATA power connector (labeled P9)

  plugged in,

  still on the same spot next to my main HARD drive did not exist another SATA Black Power Connector for my new HARD drive but a great white molex 4 driver female connector P4

  I searched through the bundle of cables, Power Supplies, but I have not found another available black SATA power connector.

  So very quickly what I thought would be a simple upgrade of HARD drive stopped me in my tracks.

  So, my questions are...

  (1) can I buy an adapter's cable to power the existing WD10EADS as well as my new HDD WD20EARS?

  (2) is there a short jumper cable that allows you to convert the white Molex P4?

  (3) should I just upgrade the existing LiteOn model of block of power SUPPLY PS-5301 - 08HA / power 300 WATT?

  If so, what is a good upgrade and did so for my HPE 112y? Necessary power, 400-500-700 watts

  I have a gateway FX541S with a power of 700FB1E Delta Electronics which has 3 SATA power connectors

  that align perfectly to each of its 3 HARD drive location... Very well!

  That's why I was surprised when I saw the problem I had with my RESUME, I was expecting the same thing.

  I never thought that I would have a cable problem, after that I got my new HARD drive.

  The HP Pavilion Elite 112y has two discs, Blu - Ray and DVD as well as a Radeon HD4350 Video card and now two HDD.

  Is 300 watts enough, even though both of my HARD drives WD Green drives are.

  Unlike my front door where security HARD drive in place with a lever and blade in the front or side according to the case law can be too LOL!

  My HPE 112y has a cage for two HARD disks that screw in place... I don't have the necessary screws.

  Where can I get these very short screws to ensure my WD HARD drive?

  I tried Lowes with no luck.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I went simple and fast 5 minutes HDD Upgrade which I have just done to my front door, a serious project with my RESUME.

  I still love my HP, but not too friendly!

  Hi again,

  Update.

  I went to my local computer store and got an adapter 'Y' which connects Molex 4 male pins on the computers Molex 4-pin female connector, then to a 'Y' for two SATA power connectors.

  They were kind enough to give me a bag of screws for the installation of my HARD drive in the cage.

  HDD installed in the cage, connected new red SATA cable and power cable SATA and everything has been working well since!

  Thanks again,

• HP ENVY PHOENIX CTO 810-135QE - 600 watts power supply Question

  In the near future, I would like to upgrade the video card in my desktop HP ENVY PHOENIX CTO 135QE-810 GT 640 default to something a little more powerful and I was wondering if there is any details about the default 600 watts power that will help me in my decision to the next video card.

  I know that some video cards require a number of amps on the 12 volt rail and all the information that I have found previously on the power of 600 watts power supply in the computer is not in that kind of detail.

  What I read, the power is a Petrus 600W e-star 5.0 Bronze, HP Part number 633186-002.

  Any additional details and details on this power to help me determine the next video card would be useful.

  On a side note the video card, I'm currently doing is one of the next Nvidia GTX 750 TI models, thoughts and recommendations on this specific map?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Your PC has UEFI bios, so most video cards should work.  Some video cards will work in UEFI mode and others in legacy mode, that your PC is able to run.

  When the manufacturer of the video card and/or AMD or NVIDIA specify a minimum power supply size then it is best to stick to this recommendation.  Not all power supplies are built to the same standards of quality.  In addition the internal components, temperature, charges unknown and time that the PC will be placed under the maximum load are taken into account at the recommendation of minimum power supply is indicated.

  I have not seen a power of 500 watts with 12v rating of 18A, but this does not mean that there is not. And if that's the case, then the total power rating is suspect. A video card that requires an external auxiliary power connector will also draw power from the PCI-E slot.

  Are there cases where the minimum size of the power supply is insufficient? Yes, those who might be extreme but someone can have connected to power different connectors either to avoid buying a new power supply or maybe around just the food manufacturer minimum power rating. Some may do it thinking 'I'm going on fox the Fox ". It can work, but maybe the questions later start occurred.  I prefer to get the job done right the first time. You don't need a power supply to perhaps of overload and short circuit then internally causing spikes to the components in the PC.

• Workstation HP Z620 dual xeon: really only 1 6-pin power connector on the graphics card?

  Hello

  I have a question about the HP Z620 workstation.

  recently bought a dual xeon with 960 GTX installed on the 6-pin connector.

  as I can't find any other power to use nor on the power connector

  or nowhere on the set, I wonder how a graphics card must be powered only

  needs

  1 x 8-pin

  or

  1 x 8-pin + 6 pins

  or

  2 x 8 pin?

  I know there are some discussions about this in this forum, but I did not understand

  the solution. Some said there are adapters to go 6-pin to 8 pin (or 6pin to 2x8pin)?

  But how is that possible?

  like many, I know, 75 watts are max of the pci-e connection, 75 other watts Max for 1x6pin.

  so plug any adapter, 1x6pin for graphics cards that need much more power would be

  According to the standard / danger, right?

  and what about graphical installation double?

  would be happy if someone around could help me with this.

  best regards

  Chris

  The search box on this page by default search only this forum, and it is very convenient.  If you type "extra", you will find a lot of info.

  The Z620 has two of these 6-pin cable, and HP got creative and molded into two empty containers down to the black plastic fan holder before.  So, one is being used by you and the second is sitting there plugged and similar, it is used, but it is stored just it did nothing... the fan is powered differently.

  These extra HP 6 - pin PCIe power cables are not standard ATX... they are better.  The ATX standard is 75 watts can go up to the card out of the slot, and another 75 watts can come via the additional 6-pin cable.  HP 6-pin cable can do a bit more.

  This is the message that you want to read, and there there details that were not in any of the HP manuals that I searched through, but the answer was on the label of Z620 power supply.  12V 18A each, plus adding info on some special HP adapters that allow you to take a HP 6-pin and divided to two 6-pin connectors or cable HP 6-pin connector 8 pins.  Watch here.

• HP G620470CA: G62 - 470 CA do not load - power connector?

  I'm helping a friend with a laptop HP G62 - 470 CA.  It runs Windows 7Home Premium.

  I'm a geek of very experienced computer hardware, since 1968, but only opened about 10 modern laptops - always with the help of downloaded books.

  The laptop in question has only Wi - Fi networks, and I have only a Linux computer with a dial-up connection, so there is no way to connect the laptop directly to the internet from here.  And I can't view the videos.

  The problem with the power connector - a common, but I've read all morning and have not yet find an answer.  There seems to be some interactions between the power brick, power conenctor, battery and motherboard problems.

  Like many users, she found her power connector is intermittent, needing stirring so he could connect. As I had fixed the old laptop of his brother with a work of pig after it (soldered to the motherboard) power connector went wobbly, she asked me to look at.

  When she showed me the machine, the battery was too dead to allow start-up of the machine completely.  The charge LED is not come yet a moment, and there is no visible light on the power brick itself (I don't know if there should be any on this model).

  Put a meter outside the ring and the central axis, I found on 18.5V, positive pin, which looked good and is stable.  Biting moments and the cable has not changed anything.  It seemed that the power supply was the culprit.

  I got it home (where I only switched) and studied the issue for several days, download of HP service documents and discovered that HP had improved their design with a nest, wiring-harness-connected socket which is more shock-resistant and easy to replace.  I told her, and she has ordered a replacement of cylinders harness + listed the number of exact model; I installed it, in the process of learning how to work the little clips on the printed ribbons cables and using a printed diagram from the bottom of the computer to save all the small screws and clips, "with circles and arrows and a paragraph to describe."

  As both outlets had pinbacks resin-locked up, it was not possible to test connections.  A new differed from the former only by not having only not four tiny, rectangular holes around the hole of the central axis.  Food is not about to mate with these holes, and it lists a tension, so I wasn't expecting that to matter.  Maybe it was a feature for foreign cersions of the power brick, I thought.

  I plugged it in no light, but I left in it for awhile in case only the LED was not connected.  Start the machine (including ahd been unable to boot), fortunately, he started and showed 85% battery!  However, only, which is down with the time - there was no load, or at least no more.  I checked the voltage of the charger to see if it may have been damaged by an internal problem.  I found only 13, 75 - 14.01 volts from the outside of the ring to the central pin (positive)!

  Appearing to use a battery to try to light the LED of charging, I watched the cable brick and found that there are THREE sets of contact - the spindle, the outer ring and the ring INSIDE. Others showed:

  4.75 - 4, 85 volts from the inside of the ring to pivot (PIN positive)

  18.5 - 19 volts from the outside of the ring inside the ring (inside the positive)

  Whaa?  The 18.5 was what I expected, but it was between two rings and not between a ring and a PIN.

  And at this time, I noticed that from time to time, a blue (or white, I guess you'd call it) a DUCT on the connector turned on briefly, then turned red orange and outside.  Over time, it stayed white wheat longer, up to 8 seconds at a time, without showing any ability to charge the battery.

  Reading much more here and besides, I noticed that many others had similar problems involving all parts of four - battery, power brick cable, connector and motherboard.  I noticed the battery test can be found in the pages of support and pulled up to HP Support Assistant to test, but the reliable program planted at startup.  It was a version of 7.something.something, the support site said that later was 12.0, so I downloaded that.  However, I can't understand how to install it on the HP machine after it (on USB) transfer to the Linux machine, and the laptop cannot get Internet at home.

  WHAT can I DO to narrow down the problem?  If I know what voltages to which contacts, I can try to charging a battery nicad-multi, that would eliminate all the problems of power supply brick.

  The laptop battery carries a lot of numbers, but next to the 'made in china' legend is CQ42 HP-6.  A sticker says 112B213G6LA65D9CJ83, and another with a barcode PRTNHP234BK06312120141.

  That's a lot to read, I know, but I want to provide as much information as possible to help the members of the forum with kindness.  Again, the machine turns on, but fell to 18% of autonomy.

  Thank you all in advance!

  Thank you, Reo51st - that clears up a lot.  As you probably know, the diagram on the power brick shows the symbol for PIN and ring only (with pin posiitve).

  Since I posted this question yesterday, I have since set up a battery of 12 NiCd cells and jerry-rigged a connector with tin foil and a piece of cable insulation, and load worked.  Then I drove on Free geek, our very convenient source of Vancouver (and sink - they take your trash for reuse or recycling) of the old computer bits and $18 me have a new power brick.

  I therefore declare this thread SOLVED (by me), even if the info from Reo51st certainly would have made me more confident in the test so I saw him at the time.

• Adding second DVD - Rom SATA HP Pavilion with only 2 SATA power connectors.

  Try to add a second SATA DVD Rom but do not see more SATA power connectors?  I tried to discuss with Tech, desperate!  Don't understand.  The system came with a SATA hard drive and a SATA DVD/BlueRay so both SATA power connectors are used.  I do not see another SATA power connector in the system, but there are at least 2 connectors SATA DATA more on the system board.  You can even add the old style DVD of as the connectors on the system board do not exsist for the old style DVD ROM.  What they do a converter to SATA power adapter or am I missing something?  Strange.

  If there is not a spare SATA power connection, maybe sometjhing like this would help:

• Dv6500 laptop - no Standard disc HARD SATA/power connectors

  Hi - I decided to upgrade my 80 GB Western Digital Scorpio 2.5 inches with a Seagate Momentus 2.5 inch 250 GB. The Seagate as I thought, were the standard SATA power connectors. The connectors slide on, the same thing as what I saw on all SATA 3.5 Desktop drives. We WD Scorpio, the pins are divided and snap into the motherboard. So I don't think I can use the Seagate, what 2.5 inch disks have will work with the DV6500? I thought that SATA SATA.

  Duh! Answered my question on. Looked at training, I got out and noticed there is a converter of pins of connectors SATA slide standard split connectors that facilitate their insertion in Notepad. just removed the old WD drive converter and added to the new Seagate.

• poorly supplied power connector

  Just got my thunderbolt and macbook pro screen, but a little puzzled that the laptop power connector that comes out of the back of the display unit is for a macbook not a macbook pro (see photo below of the Web page) - confused.

  Am I missing something? I don't remember when put my order together that I had to say anything... Do I need an adapter?

  

  Well, the MagSafe connector was used by the old MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, but Apple MagSafe 2 released later and recent Macs have more than the connector. However, you can get the MagSafe adapter MagSafe2 to use this port, assuming that you have a MacBook Pro with the Retina display.

• Bad power connector

  Recently bought a Mac Mini 2014 opportunity. Did anyone notice that their power connector is loose? When I received it Thursday it popped so I really pushed and he seemed to be very tight. I shook so much that I could barely get out today. When I went to reconnect, I only close it partially in order to disconnect easier if necessary and you worry nothing break. Love the machine so far but it's just a minor annoyance.

  You will need to inspect the end of the cord that fits inside the power supply of the computer

  and compare it with a new power cord for damage. The socket inside the computer

  is another matter; What wrong with this hand, is a more difficult task.

  There is a fairly well documented process of access to food, as seen

  in the iFixit.com repair guides for computer model of Mac Mini 2014. I looked inside.

  • Mac Mini - repair Guide end of 2014 - iFixit:

  https://www.iFixit.com/device/Mac_Mini_Late_2014

  So if the power cord itself seems incorrect from a new replacement, then

  It may be wise to consider purchasing another cord of correct specification.

  My end of 2012 Mac Mini has a similar cord with a built-in power supply, it is not a

  You can do a lot. The guide repair above shows that is taking part of the diet.

  Or would be if you were to heal the problem here. I rarely move my Mini once

  It is in a position of work and power; If did not find a problem with it disconnected.

  In any case...

  Good luck & happy computing!

• Satellite A30 151: motherboard power connector broken

  I have an old toshiba A30-151 that has fallen down a while a go because of the power connector snap into the power socket. This had happened before at the back of the power supply, but I managed to solder back together. Unfortunately it broke again and has so the PIN inside the socket.

  So after having managed to get into the nitty gritty of the laptop and have the motherboard out, I had a replacement for welded to the. Problem is there is a missing piece. I have a picture of this here:

  http://i150.Photobucket.com/albums/S83/Dalio1984/motherboard.jpg

  It was a picture of him before you put the Jack on. The chip missing normally goes where the right red circle is. Now I have not tested yet cause I have to go through the process of implementation of back together which is tomorrow nights work. I was wondering if it will work without it, if I can get a replacement part for this, or if I could figure out what it is (for example a resistor) replace it with a piece of stock to its equivalent.

  I realize this is probably a little extreme, but any help in this matter would be appreciated.

  Hello

  A figured out if this will work without this chip?

  I don t think that someone here in the forum will be able to give you an answer exactly.
  The drawing of the motherboard is necessary and that these documents are not easy to find because the manual are not:(pour usage public)

  So I hope you can find more information in internet

  Good luck

• HP Z620: Problem of auxiliary graphic workstation HP Z620 pci-e power connectors

  I want to fit my new GPU Z620 workstation card. I see that there are two auxiliary pci - e power connectors on the plastic support. I intend to use these two to put my new graphics card but I see potential problems.
  The problem is that in these two connectors pinout is not really to PCI-e spec. There are five female terminals to each 6 connector routes. The three terminals in the top row are crushed and two terminals downstairs is 12V. 6 cavity is empty in both connectors. As far as I know the PCI-e power connectors should have 12V power supplied to cavity n ° 4 and n ° 6 of cavity. What I have to manually change these two connectors pinout and move terminal 12V from cavity to cavity no.6 no.5 or there may be a few HP adapter that could solve this problem?

  connectors

  

  Only HP knows what HP has designed (and why) and as such, it cannot be assumed simply that a connector on a system is consistent with the 'standards' and not a "psudo owner" Connector (as seems to be the case with your PEG connector that is missing pin #3).

  Normally, a PEG 2 connector x 3 can provide 75W and as such, each 12V pin provides 1/3 of the power budget. This means that the HP "psydo owner" PEG connector, for lack of a better term, may not be able to supply 50W (if each ping is kept for the same current capabilities used in the standard 2 x 3 plug PEG).

  Then, this suggests the Z620 can only support a 175W graphics cards (with 75W of PCIe + 50W of each of the two 2 x 3 PEG connectors). Note that the standard allows graphics cards to 225W pulling 75W of the slot PCIe and 75W of each PEG 2 connector x 3!

  Thus, quantify this is to watch the quickspec for your Z620 and see what graphics cards are certified for use with your system. Then to know what cards are certified for your system, you can check what PEG connectors as appropriate are provided on these certified cards and also check what is their energy consumption. I would guess that all graphics cards that require more juice 175W has not been certified by HP...

  Since you say your card draws 165W, this budget of power seems OK during examination of the foregoing. So it should just be a matter of connect the two connectors of the PEG 2 x 3 and all should be well.

  However, it you want a card more powerful, purely based on the fact that a standard 2 x 4 connector PEG can power 150W using three-pin 12V, this would indicate that each pin can supply 50W. Assuming that the pins used in a conector of PEG 2 x 3 and 2 x 4 are the same, a 2 x 3 with only two pins 12V power connector could in theory provide 100W each. So you could in theory use a 275W card into the PCIe slot with your 2 psudo owner HP PEG connectors. BUT it means something to the pins themselves and that your HP power is up to the task (and can actually provide the necessary 275W power).

  And I would say that if you wanted a graphics 225W which is supported by standards, likley it would be a simple mod to the rider 12V among the pins for the vacancy that is normally used by the 3 pin (12V).  I'd be surprised if the block POWER HP of power and wiring could not handle the necessary extra 50W. But maybe it's a little too much for some who enjoy the guarantee.

  In any case, without owning a Z620, I would be comfortable in saying that you have no problem with this graphics card 165W and these exclusive hybrid psudo 2 x 3 PEG connectors as is

  (Heck, I don't got no problem with a 35W graphics card in a slot PCIe capable of 25W of my Dell T610 server that only supports the graphs via the inetgrated adapter)...

  But really, who knows why only two used HP pin 12V in their PEG connectors, maybe they used the best quality PINE and they were not sufficient for the cards, they chose to certify. Maybe save 2 cents for a less pin was a driving force... HP only knows what HP...

• Broken power connector? Where to find one?

  Hello

  the delayed of my thoshiba satellite is broken.
  Where can I find one?

  Thank you.

  Hi Michel,.

  This is the power connector on the power supply that is broken, or is the connector at the back of the laptop you?

  If it's your laptop then it is normally soldered on the motherboard and will result in the replacement of the motherboard unless you can find a suitable replacement connector and try to re - solder it.

  If the adapter connector, you can cut the broken one and weld on a replacement that you should be able to get most of the spare parts electric stockists. Ensure that you get the correct polarity since it is DC current.

• Satellite Pro L300-152 lose the power connector - how to disassemble it?

  I have a Satellite Pro L300 - 152 unit, which is out of warranty.
  I have a bad power connector, it has been pushed back and be dislodged from his seat or brocken cradel is within the computer.

  I am trying to remove the back to see if the power connector can be repaired or remains in its cradle.
  I removed all the screws and all devices, but can not get it off the computer.

  There seems to be something with the keyboard, which I took.

  Can you help me?

  To fix the power connector the whole notebook must be disassembled and you must have access to the motherboard. Disassembly procedure is not complicated if you have maintenance manuals and instructions.
  To have full access to the motherboard, you must remove all the screws from the underside and also all the screws under the keyboard. You will then be able to separate the notebooks and disassemble the upper.

  Tell me exactly what you have removed so far?

• HP Envy Phoenix power connectors

  Hello, I was just wondering since I don't have my HP ENVY Phoenix 810-145qe CTO desktop PC even if there will be some additional power connectors in the camera so I don't have to buy anything, I know that I need 3 to sata cables hd additional, anyone have this computer can tell me if there is & how it... Thank you...

  TAAA, welcome to the forum.

  Great choice of computer.  I have the 810-135qe Phoenix.  This is a very good for gaming.  I did it faster by adding an SSD.

  Here is the page of Product Specifications .  If you look at the section "Berries", it shows that there are 2-5, 25 "and 3 - 3.5 drive bays".  For this reason, I am sure that there are additional power connectors.  I'll check my computer when I have the time to see how many are available and report back.
