I believe it may be due to the power supply to the motherboard, but I don't know for sure. I am ASKING FOR YOUR HELP in reasoning out what may be the cause. Anyone with computer/electronics exper...

how to increase wattage/amp output of a power supply? http://www.instructables.com/answers/how-to-increase-wattageamp-output-of-a-power-supp/ http://img.instructables.com/files/deriv/FTV/654R/GINP9PWZ/FTV654RGINP9PWZ.SQUARE2.jpg http://img.instructables.com/files/deriv/FTV/654R/GINP9PWZ/FTV654RGINP9PWZ.SQUARE.jpg http://img.instructables.com/files/deriv/FTV/654R/GINP9PWZ/FTV654RGINP9PWZ.SMALL.jpg zack247 Hey everybody im back with yet another question. I have here a adapter for a motorola cyber surfr wave, i intend to use it as a sort of pico psu, since it outputs 5v and 12v. the only problem is that I dont think it supplies enough current or amps to meet at least a 145w psu's equivalent. I would a...

My AXT died! What can I do? http://www.instructables.com/answers/My-AXT-died-What-can-I-do/ /static/defaultIMG/default.SQUARE2.gif /static/defaultIMG/default.SQUARE.gif /static/defaultIMG/default.SMALL.gif muttyfutty I was just experimenting with a 555 timer project connected to the 12V rail, i then hooked it up to the -12 and 3.3V rail, which worked for about 2 seconds then died. I checked the fuses and looked inside for any obvious signes of dammage but NOUTHING! Iwas only drawing 1/2 an Amp MAX. this is my 2n...

Is it possible to wire computer PSU's in series to achieve a higher voltage? If so, how can it be done? http://www.instructables.com/answers/Is-it-possible-to-wire-computer-PSUs-in-series-to/ /static/defaultIMG/default.SQUARE2.gif /static/defaultIMG/default.SQUARE.gif /static/defaultIMG/default.SMALL.gif The Ideanator I want to make bench top PSU's out of old computer power supplies and I want a 24v output as well as the typical outputs, but I don't want to put a transformer on it that could only handle so much current (I might want to run some bigger motors off it)
