are you sure?
If you mean a videonics VE-1, mine has a 12AC adapter (left side on the back)
the right hand side din socket is for s-video
(I’m based in the EU, but I don’t think there will be that much difference in other countries…)
the backside tells me that it needs a 12v AC 800mA power supply.
Thanks for the reply! They released different revisions with different power supplies. I happened to get a goofy one I guess. Below is a terrible pic, but lists the +5vdc -5vdc. Does your unit have mini din power connector or a barrel connector?
so if the pin has a connection to the negative side of an electrolythic capacitor, it is the -5v input, positive connection is +5v
trace the pin routings through ferrite beads / resistors and maybe diodes.
Probably only 3 pins are used
maybe ask @bastien, he might know about these different psu connections?
Pulled it apart today. Here are some pics of the board for those of you interested. Looks like this board may have been modified? Not sure if it was a factory or after market circuit change… hopefully i get this to work… if not its getting returned. Any tips on how to tigure out which side is positive and which side is negative on the capacitors off the power input would be greatly appreciated.
…i was investigating the same topic recently; it seems there were two revisions, one from 1991 with the +5V/-5V PSU and the other from 1993 with the 12V AC-AC PSU…
Thanks to you all and cyberboy666, I have now traced and figured out how to wire the plug up! Once my 5 pin mini din plug gets here, I’ll give it a shot and hope not to release blue smoke!! Lol ill provide a pin out once I have a working unit!
