I’m very new to this, but I grabbed this monitor from an older gentleman and he mentioned possibly needing an isolation board. I wanted to plug it into the wall and see if my Dreamcast will run on it. Any info would help!
You’re good! No need for a ISO on this chassis since it got a SMPS (switching power supply) transformer.@BuddyC This work?
Sorry. Don’t know the pinout for this chassis, but snap a pic of where you connect the AC cable and we can probably figure it out.And last question. The guy accidentally forgot to grab the power cable, so he might mail it to me, but in case I just buy it, i would go with this?
Thanks for confirming. With regard to the power cord, I was under the impression tgis is where the AC connection goesSorry. Don’t know the pinout for this chassis, but snap a pic of where you connect the AC cable and we can probably figure it out.
That’s correct. Unsure if that power cable is a 100% fit, but should work with some modifications. I would give it a go. Polarity looks correct based on the PCB silkscreen.Thanks for confirming. With regard to the power cord, I was under the impression tgis is where the AC connection goes
And I think this cord would work? https://www.arcadeshop.com/i/1241/8-wells-gardner-monitor-power-line-cord.htm
You can't fit a Mate-N-Lok connector on a JST VH header.
If you want to do it right, cut the end of a power cord, crimp JST VH pins on the wires and then place the pins inside the correct 5-pin JST VH connector housing.
