Hi all, new here!
I have an old 5150 that I'm putting together from parts. The power supply has three pcbs in it.. I replaced the rifa caps and all seems good, at least I'm getting long, two short beeps out of motherboard.
When I checked the voltages I noted that instead of +12 -12 volts I seem to be getting just +9 and -9 volts which seems low. Is there any way of adjusting the voltages. I noted at least what seemed to be three trimmers/trimpots. Making slight adjustments to each did not seem to make any difference. I was using an untested floppy drive as a load.
As I said the mobo seems fine anyway, but just thought I'd check. If you want pics let me know. I'm hoping to get some video output later today
Thanks
