WERY Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The following text is a description on how to do it and what parts that are required:Atari 5200 4 port power modParts needed:Power jack 2.5 I.D. 5.5 O.D. (I think)47uf Electrolytic capacitor 35v.1uf Ceramic capacitor 50v (usually marked 104)1N5391G Diode (NTE 5800)Four inchs of medium gauge wire (probably around 18 gauge)First you're going to need to remove a couple of components fromthe board. They are: LB, a 2.7uH inducter located between the modulatorand soldered in RF cable; and C45, a 4700uf electrolytic capacitorlocated just above the RF plug in socket.Next, install the 47uf electrolytic capacitor in C45 where you removedthe other capacitor. Make sure to note polarity.There should be two holes for positive at C45, install one end of thediode at the positve hole you didn't use for the capacitor. I wouldrecommend installing the diode on the bottom of the board. Make sure thatthe end with the band (cathode end) is soldered in at C45. Attach thewire to the other end of the diode. I have done this mod myself. There should be a thread in this forum with pictures, posted by me about five years ago, when I made that power mod on my AVES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
