-27volts from a PC power supply
Hi all, this may sound like a rookie question, but here goes:
I have a faulty Mustek r100a DVD recorder. Having traced the problem to the power supply (where the majority of problems in these machines are), I quickly proceeded to fry several components in my efforts to repair it. At this point, I am thinking it might just be easier to substitute a PC power supply for the original one. This should be **fairly** easy to do, as the supply rails are quite similar. The DVD recorder uses the following rails: +5v, +12v, +3.3v, and -27v. Obviously the first two can be handled straight from the pc supply, but the others will require some circuitry. I assume the 3.3v can be handled by simply using a series diode of the right value, but it is the -27v that I don't know how to create. If someone could give some pointers or a circuit suggestion it would be much appreciated. Regards, Jonathan |
