Is there an issue with the 80W 12V DC power converter?
Is there an issue with the 80W 12V DC power converter?
You were the only one to show interest in my issue. Just trying to assist, buddy!
I still can't rule out the chance that the board was set for a different voltage input.
Maybe there have been cases where PCBs were connected incorrectly (blame the pandemic and pressure from an assembly line manager).
I placed the order for the case, converter, and PSU in April 2017. The business also offers preassembled systems, which suggests they were aware of what they were selling.
I have the invoice, which lists the external brick as "Seasonic 60 W/12V Level 6 AC Adapter". The internal DC converter is described as "80W DC-DC Powerboard with ATX Power Cable and DC Input Jack Cable". Because I can't find specifications online for this board and they no longer stock that model, it seems likely the voltage isn't correct.
An interesting point is that I mistakenly recalled it as 19 V. I believe I ordered it by phone, hoping to confirm I received the Seasonic power brick, since they also had a non-Seasonic version, which might have been 19 V.
In any case, it's all behind me, and I'm ready to part with it. Maybe one day I'll consider using it with a 19 V source.
