    Logisys PS480D Power Supply information.

    I just got one of these along with an Enlight case (not in the case, it was a package deal). I'm only running basic boards with them, so I'm not too worried about overloading.

    Anyway - I haven't taken photos, and I don't know where my camera is right now, but here's the information on it.

    10A input (110VAC)
    +3.3v - max 28A
    +5v - max 36A
    +12v - max 16A
    -5V - max .5A
    -12V - max .8A
    +5VSB - max 2A

    max 'combined wattage' -
    +3.3 and +5v = 200W
    +3.3 and +5v and +12V= 330W

    Total power = 330W

    but somehow it also says

    Max Output = 480W.

    How they're doing that, I'm not sure.

    The Power supply itself is pretty light duty. relatively narrow heat sinks for the mosfets, 470uF, 200V Fuhjyyu caps for the large ones, and the small ones are all BH caps. (Bor Hurng)

    However, this looks like a power supply that could be easily recapped, unlike most of them. Unlike most of the power supplies, everything's not glued together in a huge mess, the wires are reasonably separated from the caps, and the caps aren't jammed together at odd angles.

    The Max output power probably refers to the fact that it should be able to handle 480W of power without burning out for a short period of time (I don't know, maybe one minute). However its constant power rating is 330W.

    Maybe its just a POS and somehow 480W is supposed to be equal to 330W.

    Seriously thou, what sort of system are you running these on. I am not sure about the power demand on today's computers, however I am sure some others will know.

      ABIT-NF7, Athlon 2400+, and one hard drive, with a CD-rom long enough to install Linux.

      It'll probably last a long time

      [edit]

      4 or 8 meg PCI Video card.

        we had a logisys salesperson bring some over.
        they were cheaply made,very light for the claimed ratings,and were full of crapcaps.
        iirc the package had some sort of lizard stealing a computer on it.

          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...

          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...

          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

          Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
          by JimBanville
          The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
          Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
          I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
          I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...

          Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
          by CMCM
          Hello Everybody,

          Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

          Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

          The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

          The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

          The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
