    Yup, I enjoyed that though. There should be a section for quizzes and the like. A weekly 'mystery hour' Martin

    PlayStation 1 Import & Power-supply-board swapping. Very simple project / very simple question?

    It depends where the 200v capacitor is on the board.!! I will guess that in this case the 200v cap is on a 110v power supply and has a 250v fuse? I have answered the fuse part. The cap part is easy too, 110v board! so a higher rating of cap too. Implying the 110v power supply. As the voltage...

    I will try to clarify and simplify a few points that you seem to be very confused about. The fuse rating is to protect the equipment supplied by it. A 100v power supply can 'in theory' have a 500v fuse. But it can't have have 50v fuse, because 'in theory' you have exceeded it's maximum rated...

    PlayStation 1 Import & Power-supply-board swapping. Very simple project / very simple question?

    I am getting really confused now. If you go back and read every question you asked and the responses, it should make more sense. I asked a question in the first couple of posts. You just replied in post #11 saying it's a good question!! Please read it carefully and get back to me. Martin.

    Not at all. Some 12volt devices have 220v fuses. That is the maximum rated voltage. It is the amperage that is important. ie 1.6 or 2 amps. Martin

    PlayStation 1 Import & Power-supply-board swapping. Very simple project / very simple question?

    Great, sounds like you are sorting this all by yourself. But what about the 'motherboards'? are they very similar? Same connections, same components etc. I have two 300 cd disk players from Pioneer @110v. AND ALSO A 240v uk version. The 'main boards' are the same and so is the secondary voltage...

    Can you post pictures of import board and UK boards. Including both types of power supplies. Hi res photos so text can be seen. It may be easier! Yes, that is the fuse rating. Martin

    Hey, have you seen one of these?

    Actually, this text was with the above picture. "A Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit invented by Samuel Hunter Christie in 1833 and improved and popularized by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1843." So, I should have read it to the full stop lol. Will I ever learn!! Martin

    You sheep shearer.:rolleyes: This Wheatstone bridge has more than four legs! But I can sheep down there!!

    Hey, have you seen one of these?

    Well I never!!!!!! Never heard of a Wheatstone bridge......Ohhh, of course..'You' would cross a Wheatstone bridge regularly with sheep jumping off!! Does it happen on your way to work or on your way home? Martin

    The ratings may vary slightly. But the 2amp supply probably has a glass fuse. The 1.6AH probably has Wickman T series through hole fuse. But yes, open the units and make sure the 'motherboards' are very similar. Martin

    PlayStation 1 Import & Power-supply-board swapping. Very simple project / very simple question?

    I don't think a Playstation1 will draw an amp. Maybe 1.2 max.But never 1.6 from a 1.6 board. I was reffering to the 'mainboard' not the power supply. The 'motherboard' should have some kind of screen printing or a capacitor that shows the board is 5v or something. It will be near to where the...
