Yes you could be right, the psu had capacitor issues just depends if that was prior to my mate blowing it up or not. If I’d known I’d have not given them it haha but they offered and were quite confident they could do it. I couldn’t so I didn’t see the risk. Hindsight is a wonderful thing lolthe original fault was probably just some bad capacitors in the psu causing ripple on the power rails.
now your going through all this shit because you gave it to somebody else!
Hi3 connectors on the new PSU?
Please take a pic of the connectors.
Thanks.
The original psu connectors look like thisHi
Ok so the connectors look like this. And it had a sticker on it saying it’s compatible for Lenovo p410 thinkstation
BA is booting up ok off teknoparrot it just won’t start a game or recognise controls.on the Teknoparrot PC I have seen many saying they have controller issues like Xbox gamepad and the HID Compliant stuff and say to disable it
I tried on mine and then I could setup all the buttons in controller config but joystick throttle wouldn't work but I can't keep rebooting this pc to test again after disabled
need another pc to test it properly
Blazing Angels runs okay in this PC on TP with onboard graphics it's only a AMD Athlon II x2 240 low power 2.8ghz so nothing special
Looking at the specs online, it seems it's:
ga-g31mx-s2 Motherboard
2ghz Dual Core CPU
7600GS Graphics card
CD ROM Drive
Hard drive
If the PSU you bought doesn't have enough connectors then it may have required an additional distribution board or adapter. I'd guess there's 2 cables that are 24 pin motherboard + 4 pin motherboard, and maybe a Sata/molex power cable? Seems weird that a 450w PSU only has 3 connectors tbh.
You really need to give detailed pictures of the PSU and what's installed so we can work out what's what.
Does the original GPU require additional power?
I don't think a standard 7600GS requires external power, but you do need to verify so we know going forward.
Is the Hard drive Sata or IDE?
You need to show the connectors on the back of the Hard Drive to verify so we know going forward.
if you have than great would appreciate that, otherwise I’ll still need some advice on what to get next. Though at this rate I could have just bought a new machine haha.OK, on further investigation it looks like it's for an OEM setup where the motherboard somehow distributes the power.
Convenient there's no pictures of the connectors in the auction.
Pretty sure I've got something in storage I can send you FOC,
I'll have a look over the bank holiday for something.
I really wouldn’t know haha. I’m just doing what I’m advised by everyone. Just when I think I’m starting to grasp it I find out I’m not.The annoying thing is that the PSU you bought is a very good one, 450w Platinum.
It would be easyish to rustle up a couple of adapters, as going by the schematics, the 8 pin is for Sata drives and the 14 pin connector is a reduced 24 pin. With an adapter it would be a very good PSU for a Supergun.
But I have a couple from work in a box somewhere. It wont have enough grunt to power a new gaming rig, but it'll power a Dual Core CPU, low power GPU, hard drive and CD drive.
Ok so to get original fixed that’s what I need?the original is one of the 12v only pieces of shit - i'v binned a couple of those.
So I need a crap psu that most would bin to fix it? That sounds promising lol.ideally
12v ATX PSU?the original is one of the 12v only pieces of shit - i'v binned a couple of those.
You star!! PM incomingI've got a 250w Delta PSU you can have.
Should be enough to power your old PC.
PM me your addy.
