The wiring loom has been cut from the old power supply, and is ready for soldering. I'd considered cutting the ATX connector off the new PSU and soldering wire to loom from the MDD PSU, but thought this would be a bit cleaner and gives me the option of salvaging the new PSU if something goes wrong. This is the ATX extension I'll be using for the connector. There's nothing visibly wrong that might have been an easy fix, and the PSU is pretty densely packed and has a lot of silicon caulk applied to keep components from shifting. Tried replacing it, but the new fuse blew as soon as it was connected to the mains. When I opened it up, I found the fuse was blown. (thumbnails are clickable for larger image) There isn't too much out there on mirror-door to ATX conversions, despite their flaky power supplies, so if there's some interest, I'll snap some photos while I'm doing the wiring and installing.įrom what limited info I've found on the MDD conversion, the 28V is only necessary if you're going to use the ADC conector, and probably firewire. I picked up a better PSU, with a rating closer to that of the original, and wanted to know if there was any interest in having the process documented. I've just picked up a mirror-door G4 for cheap, sold as a "won't power on" unit.Īfter a quick test, and it does power up with a re-wired ATX power supply.
