2357.0. "PSU Problems" by SUBURB::NORRISI (Did you fall off a skateboard??) Mon Mar 13 1989 08:35

    
    I was wondering if there was anything wrong with the latest batch
    of A500 power suppies? I have heard there is a large take back rate
    over the last couple of months. One of my supplies only lasted about
    hours before I saw a large flash from within the PSU and the computer
    failed to do anything?
    
    Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Ian,
    	I have had my AMI for about 2 months and have added 1/2 meg
    of memory, there seams to be a lot of heat from the P.S.U. but every
    thing is O.K.
    
    				Regards

    	A sales person in Selfidges told me that they had had alot of
    returns because of the PSU fault. Also after further research I
    have been told by someone else that the latest Amiga power supplies
    were giving out only 2.5v instead of 5v but I don't know if this
    is true or not. This would mean that it would be hard to power an
    Amiga with another disc drive and another 512k with one of these
    `crud' P.S.U.
    	Surley CBM would be losing more money because of returns than
    they would save by cutting down on (more) expensive p.s.u's
