    ATX brown wire sense range

    I thinking to modify some ATX ver 1 supply, and wonder what if I connect 10k pot on 12v and center tap on brown wire? What range of 3.3v correction can to expect, or something will blow up if I close to rails, leave narrow 3.3v range?

    It is KA7500B ic, but 3v3 sense is connected to TL431, I am not sure there is any connection between.

    How did you get this idea and for what reason? I am just curious as I am drawing a total blank. Lol

      some psu's have an extra wire to the connector for voltdrop sensing.
      i doubt it will tollerate more than a volt before just shutting down.

        I do understand what that wire does. But why fiddling with it?

          Yes, sorry I not mentioned...
          Idea came from me myself, and with reason to can adjust low voltage for testing purpose (not computer). So you go for 2.5v - 4.0v range?

          Supply have also -5v (white) and come to me without case and wires. It almost begging me to be incorporated somewere

            why dont you place the 10k pot between the feedback rail and the optocoupler that feeds back the primary that way you can fully "simulate" the feedback.

              I am not sure what you mean, can you sketch some circuit with pot placement?

                New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
                by wnlewis
                OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

                Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

                This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

                The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

                Where may I find parts...

                Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
                by emeskay
                We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...

                Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
                by technicalspecialist
                I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
                It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
                I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
                I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

                I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

                The enamelled copper...

                Heater element wire type instead of a fuse when troubleshooting a short circuit DIY
                by sam_sam_sam
                I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

                I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...

                HP Spectre - Windows not showing a battery but battery still powers notebook if power adapter removed
                by survivalbloke
                HP Spectre X360 Convertible.
                Model: 15-df1033dx
                SN: 5CD94486ZJ
                Prod: 7UT64UA#ABA

                Windows does not show a battery installed. Is using aftermarket battery. If I disconnect the power adapter, the laptop remains powered up.

                What I've tried:
                • Replace battery with new aftermarket unit
                • Reinstalled Windows
                • Updated BIOS
                Coming off the DC jack, I have charger voltage on red, but on brown(I suppose is sense wire) I have only .45V which I believe is low, is it not? Shouldn't sense voltage be a couple volts less than charger voltage?...
