Hi Dan, I need the pinouts internally, not externally - for the PSU. I've got a spare Astec switch-mode PSU which has all the required outputs, but is larger than the OPD one, and if I can work out how to wire up the internal cabling for the OPD monitor/PSU connection to test it, then I can - if it all works - have my OPD PSU repaired (or repair it myself, but I'm not great at diagnosing PSU faults!). Basically I want to know if my OPD base unit has survived whatever killed the monitor! Schematics for the proper OPD monitor - not just the Microvitec schematics, which I have currently - would be a great help. My Microvitec OPD monitor I was lead to believe had just had the lead changed, but it's had the OPD PSU and support bracket removed too. So if anyone has a medium-res OPD colour monitor with, say, a blown line driver, or failed monitor PCB, I would be very interested in acquiring the PSU, bracket and leads from it (and PSU power indicator, which I think went high up on the panel above the contrast control).
