I'd also suggest that you do a continuity test of the red 5v line that shows no voltage and replace the wire if necessary.

Hi,

I will purchase new PSU, what is the exact reference to order ?
Is it possible to tell me which PSU connector lenght to use ? is the length of the one I already have with the food long enough or do I have to order one of the ones you offer?

Best Regards.

I would just go for the longer one to make sure, so many board layouts I don't keep track of them..

Afraid not.. I stopped doing this for many reasons last year.

Yes that's PSU. (#0030)
The current connector seems to be longer than the one supplied, will it do the job with the power supply you sell?
Do you have any photos with connector soldered? just to understand how it is soldered please?

Best Regards,

Tristan.

Have a look here https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 245#p24083

Its the only connector I sell.. its 45mm long.. so you will have to measure it will fit.. I would assume so..
