Hi Andrew,

least 10V but

When replacing the display PSU with a matching one, has anyone tried
adding heatsinks to the power transistors? There is stuff about putting
longer legs on the capacitors and such like, but wouldn't it be better
to get the heat out of the board in the first place?

Fixings as in the 4 and 2 pin sockets? Yes, I'm 99% sure they are the
same. (Same markings CN1/CN2) but they are reversed on the Lambda. So
the Transporter connectors have to be reversed as well. And
Speaking of heat, I bet the Transporter (PSU included) would last a lot
longer if Slimdevices had placed air holes in the side(s) of the cases.
