    if they use 12v, 5v, or 3.3v, then a computer psu will work just fine. You would just have to wire it all up and wire a switch to the power_on to a negative on the main 20/24pin connector for a switch.

      You might have issues with not enough load to keep PSU on.

          Hmmm, you would have to check the pinout.

          I have a old upgrading and repairing pc's 5th edition around here with the pinout for a at power supply's connectors.

          Also, those older power supplies would usually fry themselves without a minimum load on each voltage.

              Re: fore es-2810 PSU

              AT has:
              +12v = Yellow Wire
              +5v = Red Wires
              -5v = White Wire
              -12v = Blue Wire
              -- some also have [rare]
              +3.3v = Green Wire
              .....
              Do not use Orange wire for power. That one just tells a mobo that PSU is ready.
              .....

              Most AT PSUs probably don't care about minimum loads like ATX units do.

                Those with +3.3v will have three 6 pin main power connectors vice just the usual two.

                  I think they care more about minimum loads. According to upgrading and repairing pc's 5th edition, almost all do need a minimum load, and only higher end astecs and pc power and coolings had a minimum load built into them for bench testing.

                      well I finally got around to sesting the switch it is something in the switch i hooked up a normal at power supply if i hook up only half of the connector the fans turn on if i hook up the whole thing nothing comes on so i suppose the switch just crapped out

                        As I recall most AT PSU's will kick on with nothing connected at all.

                          All I know is that IBM would put little resistors in place of hard drives in thier early systems to put a minimum load on the psu. I've had countless deers and other gutless wonders as well as new antecs and a supermicro that have no problem running with nothing attached.

                          I fried a old lite-on AT psu because it had no minimum load and when I jumpered it it just ran for a second then *pop*.

                            Probably had a load resistor but not big enough.

                              Micro Momentary Push Switch?

                              Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...

                              by grimacelord
                              Hello,

                              I've been working on a NEC TurboExpress and I accidentally got the plastic inside the power ON/OFF switch too hot while doing other repairs and melted it. At first, it would still power on when sliding the switch, but you had to really press inward while sliding to get it to work.

                              I removed the switch component and tried to gently melt the plastic back so it would work more reliably and all I managed to do was make it worse.

                              I need to find a replacement On/OFF switch for this, but having some trouble figuring out which kind of switch I need....

                              So I am requesting some help from anyone who happens to have one of these motherboards to hand and perhaps a multimeter.

                              My board has a single row of header pins for all the front panel stuff (have seen others where they are grouped together differently so thats no help) and the two pins for the power on switch had been previously repaired and I am trying to make a better repair.
