Have inherited old Dell psu. Somewhat strange in that wires to 20 pin mobo connector don't match the usual plan. PWM is UC3845 and protection chip is TSM110 - could not find data sheet for this one. 5VSB works but +5/+12/+3.3 are all dead. Date of mfg stamped on case is 12-07-00. The Dell it came out of is either unique or antique. Anyone know anything about it?

Dell departed from the standard PSU pinout in late 1998 they are proprietary supplies. They have since returned to the standard ATX layout.
I have seen special conversion harnesses allowing you to use standard ATX supplies on these boards.Last edited by Krankshaft; 02-10-2009, 08:02 PM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either. -

Re: Old Dell PS 5201-7D 200 watt psu
Those adapters are to use standard PSU with Mobo that everell's PSU is supposed to go to.
They don't convert his/her PSU to standard.
Dell used those on late generation P3's.

Ah-ha! Gotcha.
So, if you want to go FROM Dell PSU TO ATX mobo, then it looks like it's a homebrew project.

Re: Old Dell PS 5201-7D 200 watt psu
As I recall you can get by with switching the wires around in the plastic connector.
You should look up the pin-outs and check wire colors first because I think some of the Dells used non-standard wire colors for the voltages.
Here is the odd-ball pin-out.

Nope, looks like that PSU has no 3.3v rail.Mann-Made Global Warming.

The 3.3v is there, but not in the 20 pin.
3.3v is in the 6 pin mobo connector.Mann-Made Global Warming.

Re: Old Dell PS 5201-7D 200 watt psu
Gotta love Dell just replaced 2 toasted HL Data Storage drives on 2 different Dimensions one was an 04 model and the other an 05 model. The drives weren't even heavily used.
One would read CDs but not burn CD-Rs the other wouldn't read Data CDs but would read music CDs and not would burn CD-Rs with a bit of a racket.
Dell always seems to cheap out on parts and I'm sure these proprietary supplies were no different.Last edited by Krankshaft; 02-11-2009, 09:18 AM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Re: Old Dell PS 5201-7D 200 watt psu
Thank you Mr. PCBonez - I checked out the website with the pinout information. The 5VSB came up just fine, and when I grounded the proper color coded wire (PS on), the other voltages came on just fine. Guess someone dumped this PS because it didn't have a standard pinout. I don't have any use for it now either, but it was great to learn that you should never plug in a power supply and turn it on without making sure it has a standard pinout!

Re: Old Dell PS 5201-7D 200 watt psu
I had that same problem with our dell. We bought a lightscribe dvd-ram drive for it because the cd-rw it came with was acting up. I didn't know this at the time, and i swapped it out with my computer's (at that time, it was a 667mhz p3, about 3 years ago.) white compaq (lite-on) 40x cd-rom. For some reason, that dell's cd-rw would write cd's just fine, but when you tried to read, it would be very slow. I played red alert 2 just fine with the compaq 40x, but with that drive, it would read the cd so slowly the game ran really bad.Originally posted by Krankshaft

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.

Dear friends from Badcaps
I have been searching for a long time to repair sucessfully a battery charger taking in 230V AC and outputting normally 14V DC. Its power mosfet has been shorted ( Infineon 06N80C3), probably because the bulk storage rectifier capacitor had swollen and had no capacitance anymore and a very high resistance.. The mosfet short has naturaly blown its 0.15 ohms resistor then its driver, the UC3845 IC which was shorted between pins 5 (ground) and 7 (vcc) plus 8 (Vref). Another small resistor surrounding was also dead. So, I have replaced the bulk storage capacitor, the... -

I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.
Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

Hello!
I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
[OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www...
