POWER PACK-Questions?

[tonyankyfan1]

Greetings,

 

I have been reading lots about many power pack failures, and it has me thinking... If your not using the colecovision should you unplug the brick from the wall, or leave it in. Does to matter?? If your not playing the console. Im thinking having power run through it, energizing the capacitors etc, wouldn't that wear out whatever life is left in the pack?? Let me know, Your opinions.

 

Thanks Anthony

I unplug mine. One time I left it plugged in for I don't know how long and the brick was warm. So now I unplug mine after each use.

Your best off to plug in your system and play it or let it run in a game with an attract mode for 30 minutes a couple times a years. The biggest killer of power supplies was probably most sitting for 20 + years and never getting used.

 

I wouldn't leave the power supply plugged in all the time though.

Is your internal power supply mod still unavailable?

 

If yes, will it be made available again?
