IPod HiFi A1121 power supply unit

Hi there,
I have an iPod HiFi A1121 and am aware it is discontinued.  My power supply unit is the problem with mine, but due to the fact it seems quite complex and there are 3 different output wattages on it, it doesn't seem to be something I can just find a similar one of.  Does anyone have a broken HiFi that they are prepared to part with, or does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to find a power supply unit from that would enable me to use my HiFi?  It works on battery power and my friend has an adapter, that allows mains usage, but it means it will only play music to the same level as with batteries.  Pleeeeeaassee could someone help me with any information?  Thanks very much

Thanks!
Interesting, this "Piggy back power adapter" will allow me to plug the fan into one of the ATA/IDE cables? Or do you mean the extra port on the power supply? (it has one plug for the outlet>G4, then another to support something like a monitor or similar) The G4 has a DVD burner, but no ZIP drive, so this is quite do-able if it uses the ATA power.
When you say "lower rear", do you mean at the bottom? Below the power supply, to the right of the PCI slots? If so, this is the inflow for the CPU fan! I can understand mounting it outside the current outflow-vent for the dead power supply fan, although I'm not sure the best way to proceed with attaching the fan.
Another question: what tools and supplies will I need? I may need to remove the plastic cover on the back of the G4 - the one that is outside the power supply - as there's a gap between the gray plastic and metal chassis that lets air from outside the machine come in. The screws for this cover use a funky, hexagonal screwdriver. If I need to take this cover off, what kind of screwdriver will I need? Also, should the fan not include screws/etc, what's the best method to attach it? Glue?
Secondly, to cut a hole in the G4, will I need some variety of drill? I don't have one, so i'll have to borrow one... Since there's nothing in the ZIP slot, I can run a cable out through here (assuming it's long enough), and make a new bezel to keep the airflow inside intact.
Ah! One other (somewhat related) question: my USB 2 card includes a power adapter, for use when several un-powered devices (flash drives) are attached. It works just fine with a flash drive and a small media reader, but it's slow to sense the drives - I think it's low on power. Unfortunately, this power plug uses the same variety of plug as the floppy disk drives found on many win-boxes - of which the G4 possesses none. Is there an adapter/cable for this purpose?
Thanks, this is a HUGE help, I appreciate it.

  • Have I an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it.

    I have an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it. Thanks.

    Hello,
    Yes, you can use your iPhone 4 with it, but I don't recommend using it with the dock connector as it wasn't designed for the iPhone 4 and you may have unexpected results.
    I recommend using it with the auxilliary jack on the back of the unit.  That's how I use mine and it works great to this very day.  The iPod-Hifi is still an amazing and great sounding unit and they're incredibly rare to find now of days.  I saw one on sale at Amazon.com for $999 haha!

  • Can I install a G3 Blue & White power supply unit in a G4 AGP?

    I have a G3 and a G4. The G4s power supply unit (PSU) short circuited a while back and I got a G3 as a replacement. I've tried to find a replacement power supply unit for the G4 and have been using the G3 in its place. Sometimes they appear on ebay but I usually lose the auction. But the G3 has upgrade issues that involve spending money on it. It's a Blue and White 300 MHz Yosemite while the G4 is the Graphite AGP 400MHz Sawtooth. RAM isn't an issue, processing speed is, the G3 is harder to upgrade. Plus I can put up to 3 hard drives in the G4. 2 ATAs and a SCSI. the G3 only holds 1 ATA hard drive. With 2 SCSI bays.
    Anyway I'm leaning towrds retiring the G3 and rebuilding the G4 starting with the PSU. And I've seen on auction sites that these units are compatible with both Macs, the Blue and White G3 and the AGP and PCI G4. It is essentially the same 240 watt unit made by Delta Electronics or ATX..
    However as I spent part of the yesterday dismantleing and cleaning dust out the Sawtooth's innards, and removing the broken PSU, I also noticed on the G3 that the PSUs cables are slightly different. There is one cable that is connected to the start button. On the G4 this isn't the set up. The start button's cable is linked directly to the motherboard.
    To get to the point. Is this cable arrangement a potential problem that I should avoid by not tinkering with it? Or can I ignore this and install the G3 PSU in my G4? I'm preceding with caution and will check back here later in the day.
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Grant
    Interesting opinion.. and funny too.
    On close inpsection of the fron panel you're right the cable is a hard drive cable, and without a number. Whereas the connector for the DVD and Zip drive are numbered P7 and P6.
    And in the G4 there is a slot for where this old connector went, but there's nothing to connect, no pins. It's as if this slot was evolutionary rump on its spine end where the tail ended, that the G4 designers left in or else they used left over parts from the G3 to save money.. This early G4, introduced in 1999-2000 is one evolutionary step above the G3 which was discontinued in early 1999. The G4 front panel has a slim grey ribbon cable leading under the chassis directly to the motherboard, along witha thin wire and small pin connector leading from the speaker.
    There's nothing like a beakdown to learn how to rebuild your PowerMac. And I think most of the repairs are DIY doable. It just takes a few good screwdrivers, a little know how, some patience and a lot of spare time. All that and the correct replacement parts, if you can find them.
    So I've finished installing the G3 PSU in the G4. It fits perfectly in and amazingly all the cables were long enough, including the cable to the ATA hard drive bay P2 and P3. Hard drive is connected, RAM installed, ready to go. All I have to do is plug the power cable into a power strip socket and hope for the familiar whirr and chime and breatha sigh of relief. If nothing happens then it prolly means the motherboard is kaputt. Or that it isn't compatible with the G4 architecture and it's back in the G3. I'll let the board know what's happened tomorrow. I'm off to Slumberland. ZZZZZzzzzz. rob

  • Is it possible to change Power Supply unit for Lenovo H420 PC ?

    I have 2 questions really as i recently bought this budget system.....I was amazed to see that the PSU was only 280 watts for this systemwhich kind of limits what Graphics card I can upgrade to.
    My questions are :
    1) is it possible to upgrade the Power Supply unit for the H420 from the default 280 W to say to a 400 W one?
    2) If I cannot upgrade the PSU, what is the best performing Graphics Card that I can use in this system? It was pre-installed with a NVIDEA GeForce GT 520, which isn't the best around.
    My 6 yr old Dell Dimension 8400 system with Win XP, which i have discarded allowed me to insert NVIDEA GeForce GT 240 card, which i think is a slightly superior card to the above one. Needed a 300 W PSU

    Hi RBec and welcome to the community,
    Is this your thread over there?  If not, it gives a few options concerning the PSU.

  • Installed new Power Supply unit.

    For the past few months I have had the Sleep/Wake, Start-up problems wih my 1.8Ghz 20" G5 iMac, no iSight, no ALS, that so many G5 iMac owners have been experiencing, until it would not start up at all. No visibly bad caps on the logicboard but at least 4 bad caps in the Power Supply. I cleaned all the dust out of everywhere & I have finally gotten a new Power Supply unit, & installed it today, also changed the CR2032 lithium battery. I am ready to start up and I wonder what procedures should I perform to make sure I have covered all the bases to be back to normal conditions. Do I need to reset the SMU, reset the PRAM, Repair Permissions, run Apple Hardware Test on the Install Disc, etc.?
    As usual, all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    John

    hi Ralph,
    Well, i started up & everything seemed to work OK, put it to sleep for about 20 minutes & woke it with the mouse, which I haven't been able to do for quite a while. I ran Apple Hardware Test from the Install Disc & everything Passed, hooray. Then I opened Disk Utility , chose "Macintosh HD" & ran Verify Permissions. A long list of "Permissions differ on ..." came up, starting with a "User differs on...".
    User differs on ./Developer/Examples/WebKit/DiskCacheInspector/DiskCacheInspector.xcode/project .pbxproj, should be, owner is
    Permissions differ on./Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10/Shockwave 10 Preferences, should be , they are
    Permissions differ on ./Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Info.plist, should be , they are
    Permissions differ on ./Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player, should be , they are
    Permissions differ on ./Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt, should be , they are
    Permissions differ on ./Library/Preferences, should be , they are
    Permissions differ on ./Library, should be , they are
    Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be , they are
    What thet should be & what they are are a lot of r's, w's & x's. I didn't type here what it said they are or what they should be because I don't know if there might be a security risk or not. Probably concerned over nothing.
    Anyway, should I Repair Permissions or are they supposed to differ.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Power Mac G4 MDD power supply unit/RAM

    Hello,
    I just bought a used Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) at a garage sale for $20. The owner said it works, but he took out the RAM, power supply unit and hard drive.
    I would like to place an order for the RAM and power supply unit but I am not sure how I differentiate which power supply unit to purchase. When I try to look it up all I find it is that it had gods gift to worst ever power supply unit in the history of power supply units. It was the loudest most obnoxious fan set up or something of the sort.
    Well bottom line I need to get a few replacement parts for the old G4 desktop and was hoping that some experienced mac hardware person could point me in the right direction. I am comfortable replacing parts I am just not certain what I need to purchase to install.
    Does anybody know of any good 3rd party hardware that they could suggest for a replacement part?
    Power Mac G4
    Designed by Apple in California
    Model No.: M8570 EMC No.:1914
    Thank you very much :]
    (I am pretty sure I posted this in the right subcategory, sorry if I did not.)
    None of these model numbers match, but it everything I research says it was from this generation of G4’s. How can I 100% tell which one is the model I have?

    I just finished rebuilding my MDD (FW800). As for finding specific parts for your machine, be sure you have the model number, or are able to differentiate between the models. That being said, most of the case parts are interchangeable. Problems can occur when swapping processors and failing to use the proper heat sink for that processor.
    The best place (price wise versus availability) that I've found for MDD power supplies is on eBay. However, be aware that you will probably be getting it used. So either ask the seller if they will guarantee it for a specified period of time, or buy it from a seller that offers a guarantee (normally 30 days). If you get one that lasts for 30 days without any problems you've probably got a good one. Price is normally around $140 + shipping.
    Another avenue is to try shopping the web (Google) for what you need. There are a number of great websites that carry what you may need, or maybe are looking for. Some of those to checkout are:
    www.applecomponents.com
    www.otherworldcomputing.com
    xlr8yourmac.com
    www.lowendmac.com
    Additionally there are a number of case and power supply mods that can be done to quiet down the MDD. Apple doesn't necessarily endorse these mods, as they deal with changing power supply cooling fans, and/or the processor/case cooling fans. However, if your MDD is out of warranty, you practice safe electrical/static work practices as you're working, and you're willing to accept any negative consequences should those mods either not work properly or they happen to result in damage to other components, then do what you feel is appropriate.
    As for telling exactly which model you have, and how it was originally configured when it shipped from Apple, research the serial number through this Apple website. Another way is to check the model number of the motherboard. This is located near the PCI slots, by the modem connection. It will have a number something like 820-1453-A, or 820-1500-A. Cross referencing these through Google can help tell which motherboard you have. As for the processor, you'll need to carefully remove the heartsink (5 screws) and look at the chip(s) itself. If there are two chips it's a dual processor, and if only one it's a single (Duh!). Then locate the small white sticker that's stuck to the processor card for the processor's info. It should tell you what you need to know about it. You can also look at the info inscribed on the face of each processor chip.
    Important Note: Be very careful, and wear a grounding wristband at all times when when working on the inside, or handling any computer components. This is particularly true when handling the processor card, and here's why. Any static shock from you to the motherboard or to the processor could severely damage or destroy that component.
    Here's another link to way of quieting the MDD.
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/g4mirrored_drive_doors/noise_reduction/g4_ddr_noisereduction.html
    Anyway, I hope these help you find what you need. Be careful!!

  • Do I need to replace video graphic card or power supply unit on hp compaq presario sr2180nx

    hello all
    i saw a similar post over 4 years ago, however it doesn't address my issue.
    my pc started stalling when i attempt to turn it on.  It wouldn't come on. Then after several tries every now and then it would come on. I was told through searching that it could be the video graphic card or the power supply. Therefore once i had the computer back on.  I never shut it off. However, i could reboot and it would come on.
    Now it won't come on again. So i don't know what to replace. The video graphic card or the power supply.  If it is the graphic card, do i replace the one previously installed or add a new one. And if adding a new one, what is recommended to be compatible with my 300 watt supply unit? I'm lost as what route to take and how.Below are the details of my unit.
    HP/Compaq Presario SR2180NX desktop PC with a P5LP-LE motherboard with an Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 950.
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
    300 watt supply.
    thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

  • IPod blows PC power supply

    Hello,
    I have been contacted by a friend with an iPod / Windows problem - they have blown their computer's power supply 3 times while using their iPod with windows. While the iPod is connected and music is being transferred to the iPod from the computer, the computer has just died all of a sudden, and the power supply has had to of been replaced.
    Just wondering if any one has had a similar problem? Could it have anything to do with the iPod draining too much power from the USB?
    Much Appreciated

    Bad news trying this VI on my (older) Win7 notebook.
    First of all it does not recognise if main power fails switching to the UPS system (even with the UPS monitoring software installed).
    It also does not recognise the notebooks battery being charged or not.
    The time remaining display changes randomly between about 400 and 2500 even running on the notebooks internal battery and the UPS monitoring cable disconnected.
    Of course I don't know which part of the misfunction is caused by Windows and/or the UPS monitoring software installed.
    I've now tried to contact APS, hopefully one of the DLL's they installed with their monitoring software will allow to read the estimated time status left and input AC directly.
    I will also try to get more information on the installed batteries using the functions in the powrprof.dll as used in the example below. It looks like providing access to the batteries installed, so if the UPS shows up as second battery or AC adapter it might work (have to check this in device manager).

  • Picolit Power Supply Unit

    I have the following PSU in my Envy 750xt: IPS,ATX,Picolit,500W,EStarBronze,5Vsb/4A  -  746177-002
    My question is will this PSU work with an uninterruptable power supply that outputs a stepped sine wave (only when on battery power)? I am also curious if this PSU uses Active PFC.
    Thank you.

    The P/S requirements are overstated.
    The card draws a max of 29 Watts and is a favorite to install in the HP business desktops with the 240 W P/S.
    It is also the optional graphics card on the HP Elite 8200 SFF with the 240 W P/S.

  • External PSU (power supply unit) for Video Card

    Hello guys. My 7979 6gb Radeon card arrived, but my Mac Pro only has 6-pin connections for video cards and two molex inputs, when my video card needs two 8-pin ports (or four 4-pin molex ports, 2 for each 8-pin), since I tried running the card simply using one molex for each 8-pin port (the card just turns off when I try to load a graphic intense video game, but otherwise runs) and it fails. To solve this, I am purchasing new psu tomorrow morning at best buy. 2 questions
    1. Since this psu will be external and not a replacement for the Mac pro psu, do I have to connect anything from the psu to the motherboard, or do I simply plug it into the wall outlet, and then plug the video card 8-pin cables into the psu ?
    2. The "requirements" on the video cards website says that I require a 500 watt CPU. But I believe this assumes a 500 watt CPU that is powering the whole computer (fans, ram, hard drives etc), so does that mean that getting a 430 watt psu will be fine since its exclusively for the video card? I read online that at max usage, the card only uses about 370 watts.
    Thanks

    The PCI-e bus can provide 75 watts, as can each of the two 6-pin auxiliary power connectors, so you only need a 150 watt supply.  It is possible to mount it internally, below the optical drive.

  • I had an abrupt powerfailure on my MAcbook. Power went of, the adapter light went of and since than nothing. Can't power up. I suspect a fasilure of the power supply unit. Some advice is welcome

    Working hsppy on my macbook suddenly all power fell away. The adapter light went of and since than i have not been able to restart my macbook. I suspect a failure in the powersupply. Heard a little sound like blowing a fuse. Any suggestions?

    I suggest you make an appointment at the genius bar at an Apple store and take your Macbook in for a comprehensive diagnosis. This service is free. If repairs are needed you will be given an estimate.
