One by one, my MDD G4 collection has seen their power supplies fail.
It seems the exact form factor is not available as a new product,
only used. Which is tough, as it would probably fail soon anyway.
Anyone have experience replacing these? Any advice on best model to
fit inside the MDD case?
I bought an ATX 400W supply and waited to start the conversion
process. Now that I tested it, it's a DOA. My mistake waiting so
long, but though I'd ask here before throwing more money at this.
FWIW,
I put an ATX 500 Watt unit ($25 new from Amazon) in my Mystic. I'd
say you don't need to worry about the size and mounting holes as they
seem fairly standard/compatible, but should be concerned about the
orientation of the power plug, fan outlet, and wiring harness. Amazon
had several units/models to choose from. Also, ATX doesn't have the
28 v lead which I didn't need as I'm not using an ADC monitor. There
may be other issues with the MDD that I'm not aware of like waking
from sleep,,, YMMV
