Broken connector pin JAP AES solved

bytestorm · Jun 28, 2005

EDIT***********

NEWS =) I found out that my system is a 9v (i checked this link)

http://www.neostore.com/store/products/bios-chip/neo_9v.jpg

i have the excact same.

that needs to have a JAP PSU named
PR0-POW3 ?? It says that at the bottom of the machine... i have also now removed the broken pin...and hopfully it was just a ground pin that wasnt needed?

PRO-POW3 ac adapter only... so my PRO-POW is wrong??

also..i dont know yet if the resetbutton is working.... the RED power led on tha mother board shows no signs of reaction when i press RESET....weird?

info of my system if anyone need for reseach:

JAP
with serial 118279
and the PSU spec:

JAP PR0-POW
91-25909
AC:100v 50/60HZ 38va
DC5V 3a

as i mentioned earlier, it says PRO-POW3 ac adapter only at the bottom of my console.... did i get the wrong PSU?

The cart connector pins are soldered, it's 200 pins: you must have a really good reason for replacing them and this is not. According to your indications that's a ground pin as the last two pins at both ends of each row are grounds, so it's 16 ground pins. 15 pins will do just as well, so you just have to remove the broken pin. The best way is to grab it with pliers and heat it on solder side so you can pull it off, very easy.

hmm..so the broken pin must be removed? i though about opening the system to check, but i only found 2 screews at the bottom? is there more under the black feets?

bytestorm · Jun 28, 2005

hmm. i just noticed that when i touch the power supplu cable i get screen flicks...still no graphics but the sound starts to sparkle... (sounding bad) crackling and popping.. could i have wrong psu for my neogeo?

its jap with serial 118279
and the psu is: JAP PR0-POW

there is also some text on the psu saying:
91-25909
AC:100v 50/60HZ 38va
DC5V 3a

and since i live in sweden where we have 230v i use a converter that also have some spec:

AC-AC converter
input 230v~50HZ
output: AC 110v 100w peak

does this help any?

maybe its my powersupply that is failing since its only 1 ground pin that is broken in the connector?

wich power supply is correct for my system? can i use a euro psu? or wich model?

That would be the best thing to do, especially if it's in the way and makes it difficult to insert the cart. Or you could bend it and try to make it stay in its receptacle.

yes, there's three more screws under the feet, except the foot near the screw.

As for the power supply, yes it's correct (judging from your info), pro-pow = 5v. But didn't the system work before breaking the pin? Or you bought it like that? Anyway, you have to be sure the pin is not causing shorts, that's why it would be better to remove it. Can you take a pic of it?

Ah, if the label under the console says pro pow 3 and the power supply is a pro pow yes you have the wrong power supply. Pro pow 3 is not necessarily 9v, it can also be 10v, 12v, 15v... and it doesn't have to be an official japanese psu, it would be better for you to use one that plugs into the wall socket without a step-down converter.

It's normal that the LED in the reset button doesn't work. It will once you get the right psu.

.

As you have a 9v AES the simplest solution is to get hold of a megadrive 1 power supply(for your region) as they are the same output.

No stepdowns needed.

bytestorm · Jun 29, 2005

hmm...the eu megadrive ac adapters have 10v 1.0amp....the amp is to small right?
i read it need to be 1.2amp..=/

It will be fine,thats what 90% of AES' are run with in England.

The megadrive 2 psu can be used with the AES,pc engine and super famicom and if you change the cable to the relevant machine they can be used on a US snes or a pc engine super cdrom2.

Just don't use the psu from a megadrive 2 as its not compatible(the same goes for a PAL snes psu,you cannot use those either)

ok well i kinda had the same dilema.

seeing as im in australia we use 230v-240v

get a Generic Power adapter with these specs.

this is going by my International Multi voltage and polarity power Adaptor that i got from my local electronics store.

INPUT: 100v-260 AC, doesnt really matter how much voltage it is.
as itall converts down to 9V.
OUTPUT: 9V DC
has to be able to give 1.2amps or more.
AND make sure the Polarity on the plug that goes intot he NeoGeo is a NEGATIVE TIP.

works for me.
just go down to your local electronics store and ask for an adaptor than can supply to you those exact SPECS.

hope this helps.

just trying to help dude.
i know how anoying it was tome when i was looking for the right PSU and didnt know wich one to use.
it all helps in one way or another.

metallizer · Jun 29, 2005

use the mega drive 1 psu, its compatible with your system.

bytestorm · Jun 29, 2005

ok =) lets just se if i can find any...=/

metallizer · Jun 29, 2005

I thought you had one since you mentioned the specs of it.

should be easy to find a psu for the mega drive 1.

md1 psu specs:
240ac to 10dc
1.2a
negative tip.

bytestorm · Jun 29, 2005

=) no i dont have any...i just checked ebay and got some specs from adapters...but mostly are "universal adapters" on ebay...i cannot see any specs at al..=/

whats negative tip?

I can sell you one 50 shipped

bytestorm · Jun 29, 2005

$50 shipped for a MegaDrive (genesis) 1 ac?

no offence m8 but isnt that way overpriced?
I think i saw neostore take $25 for a neo geo aes ac pow3...

and the genesis were very cheap on ebay.. around $5 for most of them...

so sorry.. i'll pass.

MKL said:

MKL · Jun 29, 2005

I was kinda joking... meaning that I don't have one to sell... but could buy one and that would cost me around 30 euros (not dollars) and if you add shipping, etc. we would not be far from 50 dollars. Of course I'm talking a SERIOUS power supply, not some 15+ year old crap, because that's what a megadrive PSU is today.

Dr. Jigglin · Jun 29, 2005

dude just go to your local Electronics store and get a generic powersupply with these specs.

just ask one of the ppl that work there for a power supply that offers you this:

INPUT: 230v AC or one that supports 100v-260v
OUTPUT: 9V DC
1.2amps or higher

and a negative tip

(+)------(#--------(-)
thats a negative tip.

metallizer · Jun 29, 2005

negative tip = center connector negative polarity, shield connector positive.

+ --(o-- -

Dr. Jigglin · Jun 29, 2005

just DONT use a PAL SNES PSU on it.
lol AC to AC where it needs AC to DC whoa nearly did some damage.

bytestorm · Jun 30, 2005

i did...but the powerfullest they had was with 0.8amp....=((

damnit! :very_ang:
