Hi guys! I'm new to the forum here, but am indeed a fellow Eevblog viewer
Hoping you could help me out with a bit of a pickle I'm having with a project of mine.
I am attempting to run a car amplifier off of an ATX power supply.
As a note : Yes the power supply is capable of running the amp
So as I've found, trying to turn the amplifier on causes a rather horrific undervoltage lockout on the PSU as the amp turns on. This is a huge problem.
I have read on the RepRap forums that people have been able to disable the undervoltage protection on their power supplies to stop them from... well, turning off under load when used for 3D printing. This person was using an EST. 7502C (
datasheet) and disabled it by shorting pin 4 to ground and breaking the trace to pin 4 on the board.
I have checked on my PSU and it is running a CP494 (
datasheet), however as my knowledge of EE is hazy at best, I was wondering if I could get a bit of helpful advice on how to disable the UVP on my supply as I can't get my amp to run.
Thanks!
Sean
