    Predator power

    I finally found a power supply for my Predator cd-rw drive but now I need to mod the plug to accept the power cord.
    I found the ground but for the 5v and 12v pins I am still lost. I don't dare want to try just going pin by pin. I would rather not burn the drive out.

      I knew that would mess people up.
      Here is an image if the Predator drive:

      It's great for laptops.

            Seriously?
            Nobody knows the pinout?

              are you serious that the external power would be both 5v and 12v?

                    The soclet looks familiar to that on the external jazz drives. They might have the same pinout.

                        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                        by Tynan Dill
                        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                        Assuming...

                        Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                        by PantherDave
                        Hi all!

                        I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                        I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                        Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
                        by GLISIT
                        Hi all,

                        TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                        I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                        A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                        Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                        by sam_sam_sam
                        I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                        One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                        Acer Predator Helios 300 - will not power up if battery is CONNECTED
                        by survivalbloke
                        This was a no power initially. Thanks to your help, I discovered it was the first mosfet, so I replaced. Now, the device will power up only if the battery is NOT connected. As soon as I connect the battery, it shuts off. If I connected the battery while the device is off, it simply will not respond to the power button. I replaced the battery, and while I suppose the new battery could be faulty, I'm assuming it is not. I'm having the same behavior with the new battery. I measure .2v at the charging coil. Manually applying power to the + and - at the battery header, there is no charging happening....
