--- Quote from: rthorntn on June 05, 2018, 08:28:34 am ---Hi, Would really appreciate some advice. I have a failed Phihong PSM-5341, basically I want to build a modern replacement. https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/psu/PSM_5341_MegaSTE-TT030_PSU.pdf +5V - 7.0A +12 - 2.0A -5V - 0.4A -12V - 0.3A Just spitballing... I could take say a standard AC/DC fixed voltage PSU, I would only need around 3A at 24V and convert it down, or maybe get two 30W dual output (5v/12v) to get the negative voltages? People are replacing them with power brick + Pico-PSU + a little -5V converter thing from a guy in the UK called Ian, there has to be a nicer way. http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/designs/Amiga_ATX_Adaptor/amiga_atx_adaptor.html The only thing interesting on this PSU is it has a "power good" signal, I guess that would have to be replicated. Thanks for looking. Cheers Richard --- End quote --- What kind of solution are you trying to get with this? beter, more efficent and reliable? cheaper? easy to get up and running? What about getting a PC PSU, many options out there, from brand new to some AT you can find in the dumpster, that would cover your need without much effort I guess. JS |

Hmm good point. Well there are certainly plenty of power supplies out there with +/- 5V and 12V, and if you have one that has -12V it's easy enough to get -5V. I would still just repair the original if possible though. |

an arcade psu could do it, they are 5v 12A, 12v 2-3A, -5v 1a the -5 is usually from a 7905 regulator fed with -12 or -15v but just fix the original - it's not worth bitching about efficiency over something only running a few A |
