Please elaborate on the resistor and controller chip. I'm always scared of the PSU going out, and I'm sure this info would help a good amount of other CS users... Also, I've said it before, but I'm finding that using the hard power switch (rather than the soft front panel one) keeps the unit working well. Actually, at this point, I just switch all my kit on/off with one surge protector. -Sack --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "retroillumination" <retroillumination@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > Some time ago I was looking for a replacement.

If it has the correct voltages present, and can supply enough current at those voltages, and do all that without having to dissipate too much heat, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. > > But in the end it turned out that the old PSU had a fault which could be fixed relatively easily and cheaply, by replacing a dead resitor and a controller chip.
