Compaq Presario 5330US Power Supply Replacement
Hi,
A friend of mine wants to replace the 235W power supply in his Compaq Presario 5330US so he can upgrade the video card to play the latest games. I took an Antec Earthwatts 380W ATX12V, V2.2 supply to his house last night but was reluctant to install it after removing the 24 pin P/S connector from the motherboard. Although both connectors appear to be physically identical, a few of the wires were different colors (+3.3V?) and each connector has 1 wire not connected, but they were different wires. The Antec is missing the -5V line. I can't remember which wire was missing on the original P/S but it was on the other side of the connector so I think it was either the Power Good or +5V Standby line. I didn't remove the original P/S from the case so I'm not sure if the physical dimensions of the supplies match, either. I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me if I can safely replace the existing P/S with the Antec and not have to worry about the system going up in smoke when its powered on. |
