As far as I’m aware, from what Jim has told me. This is a perfectly working unit, it just needs a power supply.
At the moment I’ve no means of powering up the DVI, until I come up with a solution. YES i could you one of those in the wall, adapters. But me being me, I have to be difficult and go for a harder option. If all else fails, I buy a small ABS enclosure and house the step down in there, if fitting it inside isn’t an option. Oh btw, according to the service manual the DVI requires about 60w. Some of the step down adapters I’ve seen are only 45w, so not any good. While I admit to knowing bugger all about the more in-depth side of power supplies. My common sense is telling me to buy a step down transformer with an output of 100w, to allow for a little wiggle room.
