power-supply re-use

Hello

I'm trying to give a new life to my good old Compaq Presario Windows 95 computer. Is to use the wardrobe and the power (+ 12V, + 5V, both very interesting) for a project which I was buy a power supply anyway.

So I thought, let's give a new life to this old beast. AF TI less safe environment to another part of e-waste.

Furthermore, food is a MITAC SPU-75.

I am aware that the reuse of PC power supplies requires generally a few rules to follow. There should be a charge on the + 5v and of the connecting leads must be grounded to convince food it is supposed to be 'on '.

That's what I thought until I tried with this little beast. Being an old Compag connectors are not standard, 2 x 6-pin.

Anyone has any experience in re-using this type of diet?

Kind regards

Reinhold

I thought about it!

I have connected the white wire to the orange wire and put a lamp halogen 12V 20W load between + 5v (red wire) and GND (black wire). Then - so it's important - turn on the switch on the rear of the unit. Voila, now it works!

PROBLEM SOLVED!

  • Power supply for use in the UNITED Arab Emirates

    Hello

    I just bought a Time Capsule of the airport and an Apple TV (4th gen).  I'm moving to Dubai for work and I intend to take with me.  I can't find out how to replace the power supply for use in Dubai (plug type G).

    • Can I just buy a travel voltage converter?
    • What is the frequency difference (US is 60 Hz and UNITED Arab Emirates is of 50 Hz)?
    • Could I just buy a 'EnergyPal travel Charging Station ETCS04' and connect directly?

    Thanks for any help!

    The airport Time Capsule and the Apple TV work on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz automatically, so they'll work pretty much anywhere in the world if you have the map of the right ankle.  A voltage converter is NOT necessary.

    You can buy the cards you need to any store from the airport, luggage, in Dubai store, etc., most of the hotels the.  If I remember correctly, Dubai uses the same type of plug that she used in the United Kingdom, as well as should work as well.

    I do not think that the higher 5 GHz channels are permitted in Dubai, so be sure to put the time Capsule to use a lower numbered GHz 5 channel... 36, 40, 44 or 48.

    Thank you very much.

    MBD, welcome to the forum.

    The video slot is a PCI Express x 16.  You should not buy a video card that is larger than 8 "long.  Otherwise, it should not be in space.  I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.

    I like the OCZ and Corsair PSU.  They are very good manufacturers.  Their products will provide a clean and stable power supply for your system.  I suggest to measure the existing PSU and comparing them to the one you choose.  This will eliminate the purchase of a power supply that does not fit in the space.

    Please let us know if this solved your problem or not.

    Hello

    The new class of consumers HP PCs of my standard ATX power supply to use observation provides. Some of the class business PCS have been known to use propriety feeding.  You can find some of the old HP PC using a connector ATX 20.

    It takes time for the standards to shake.  While using a power supply ATX standard can save on costs, that it could not meet the requirements for a particular need, hence the need for a special model. Sequencing of its power for devices is a case I've seen in the past to power specialized.  Another situation might be a compact cabinet where a typical diet would not fit.

  • No internet with an external power supply on L20

    Can connect to internet when my L20 runs own PSU, but when the battery level is low and demand for external power, internet connection is lost when my power adaptor attatched. In addition, internet does not connect if the external power supply is used from the outset. Disconnect the external power supply and run on battery, the internet connection can now take place! All thoughts.

    Try to check the polarity of the DC power coming out of the AC adapter is correct. In fact, make sure you have any dc voltage coming out of the adapter.

    I don't really understand what you describe. Do you really mean that ONLY the internet connection is affected. Everything works well on outlet. The power lights and disc are all about; the battery OK charges; the screen is lit; the fan is running and that these things will continue to work if you then removed the battery? (Except for the battery charge of course).

  • Problems with the DC Power supply QL 355TP: I can not set the tension level

    Hello

    I'm trying to control a power supply DC via GPIB. The power supply being used is the QL355TP of society Thurlby Thandar Instruments (TTi). There are no drivers of OR to control the instruments, then I need to download and install the driver from the website of TTi: the package I installed is as follows:

    "QL - P power supplies, (including QL Series II) series pilot National instruments (Labview and CVI)"

    and I also installed the following:

    "QL - P power supplies (including QL Series II) series, IVI driver"

    So, my problem is that when I try to use the sample application of the driver 'Volts.vi DC Ouput'; defines a specific level voltage, does not work properly. The application gives no error, but it is not set the specific level voltage. However, other functions work properly, as the measure or activate the output. I tried a lot of things, but I don't know why it does not work.

    I enclose the block diagram of the application and the front panel:

    I must say that I barely control instruments using Labview and is possible that this problem would be because I did not consider things basic and mandatory.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    p.s. Try to replace the decimal comma to period. It is possible that the driver does not correctly handle the comma.

    what I want: I need to shoot for a few hours. The battery is unable to do. so I want to use it with a block of power, but when I put in (throughh a mini-usb connector) of the camcorder goes into charing (no actions are possible), but I want to make full use of the feature when the power is connected.
    How should I treat it?

    I got an a 2, 25 a 5V power supply, I think its enough... or not?
    The label on the side of the camcorder bottum said 5V 2A...

    Thanks 4 help me :D

  • Can power supply Question - I use the 230W power supply with a W540?

    I have a W540, which currently uses a power 170W (8.5 a 20V)

    I got also a docking station for a P50 that has a power of 230W showing 20V 11. 5a.

    The connectors are similar, but I'm hesitant to try the 230W power supply in the W540.

    It is allowed to use the 230W power supply with the W540?

    230 watts is maximum power feeding, it only provides the energy required by the computer.

    I sold my W540, so I can't test it for you. But I do use the ThinkPad X 1 carbon with 230 watts without no problem power adapter.

  • Can I use a power supply from 14 to 15 volts DC with my computer

    so I bought a p2-1013 desktop computer it has an apxd1-dm, the card mother itx micro with a continuous supply, integrated on the map.

    in the description it says it needs a 19 v dc power, but I think that the jury needs 12v and 5v to operate so the provision would naturally be able to offer both voltages to 14-15 volts.

    my questions are so

    1. the Council use something higher to 12v or need something more?

    2. is the continuous converter designed to not be able to correct the fluctuations of tension? (PWM with no correcton feedback)

    3. does anyone think this will work?

    probably a rather strange question, its for a school project.

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    1. the Council use something higher to 12v or need something more?

    No, the Council should not should eat something higher to 12volts. Common computer voltages are 12v, 5v, 3.3V and lower for the processor and the memory.

    2. is the continuous converter designed to not be able to correct the fluctuations of tension? (PWM with no correcton feedback)

    The computer is basically a laptop computer in a matter of funds. Any laptop I've owned uses a power supply AC/DC with an output of 18.5 to 19 volts DC @ about 3.5 amps.  This configuration is tested... it is known to work. The section of DC-DC on board probably includes dividers voltage and voltage regulators for most of the functions with PWM for the CPU and memory circuits.

    3. does anyone think this will work?

    Honestly, I don't think you'll have a bit of luck you try to run the computer on 14-15 volts DC.

  • 1V - 5v linear output using power supply 5v, voltage divider, and variable resistance

    How can I get 1v - 5v output linear using power supply 5v, voltage divider, and variable resistance?

    Have the you wired as an attachment?  Using my schema, you can calculate the current flowing through the pot based on the fall of the tension in the pot

    4V / 10Kohm = 0.0004

    Kirchhoff's current law, we know that the same current flows through the circuit so now we can calculate the leg below the wall, based on the current and the fall of desired voltage across the resistance

    1V / 0.0004 A = 2.5 K Ohm

    My scheme maintains the current flowing through the circuit of constant, so the voltage divider must never change.  Assuming a linear pot, you will get a swing of such linear voltage as measured at the wiper.  If you wired the pot, a different way, then more then likely, you change the total resistance of 5V ground that would have the common effect that would effect the tensions.

    It seems that the firmware may have had a fatal error occurs. I'm afraid there is little you can do to solve the problem. Try the procedure described in the document below. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer.
