STeSearcher Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I've not been using my backer VCS and the power supply got away from it. I think I found it but what is the output voltage? This one reads 19.0 volts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe since I was an original backer the power supply changed to more amps later. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Neon Wraith Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 My backer power supply says 19.0V and 3.42A output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I would have sworn that there was a thread before about this, but I can't find it, so... A long time ago, I posted these photos in a thread asking about the power supply. 🙂 I also have a universal laptop power supply with the correct end connected, as a spare. The universal adapter tip is a small blue barrel connector. It's useful when travelling. As it's input is 100-240v, it's the same PSU for all regions, with just a different cable between it and the wall, for different regions. A normal clover ended cable, if it helps. THe official one label, from a first-run IndieGogo backer Collector's model VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicdemon11 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hello everyone! I lost my Atari VCS power plug. (I have no idea how 🤦) and was wondering if anyone knew of a place to buy a replacement or possibly alternatives. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scifidude79 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It should just be a matter of buying a laptop charger with the right power output. Amazon, Micro Center, Best Buy, somewhere like that would be my suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Neon Wraith Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 8 hours ago, sonicdemon11 said: The whole power adapter. Ah, then yes, just what @scifidude79 said. As long as it meets the same specs. Must be 19.0V and at least 3.42A. Voltage matters but as long as the amperage is not lower than 3.42A, you'll be good. Do make sure you pay attention to the polarity on the plug too, you don't want to fry your VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also might try contacting Atari, they may be able to assist you in getting the correct one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that barrel is 7.4mm outer 5.0mm inner you need 5.5mm outer and 2.5mm inner. Just used a digital calipers on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperZapperRecharge Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 This looks like a really good match 65w 19v 3.42A 5.5x2.5 barrel https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Charger-Toshiba-Satellite-Portege/dp/B08N5QF2HV/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2UQ9U18O5NAPR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bzmWCNUfGiU-a5JAYJZAdGL6ZEfg5L5oPdP6ZWKYkddwK6Isw_AG8Epxncw9oFUPom1tR_auz7TpYLv-btaCOxr0jt0uMglVje-BOC5bqFBYSFycPgw-xgGnIQNAu64ByLRw8wdH1O5lGP271StYpVq32jEAKCRu_91TMyfaxqmA8VGKwZKCCVCCJmLUt2ZEvDLaBnfSx3OD10zB9MnW0ZoNRK_imr9JedUBrCXjz_g.40FlLtSc_LSungoZEln8GYCdu019ZawxRQF_8iUVJr0&dib_tag=se&keywords=19+volt+3.42a+power+supply&qid=1711669397&sprefix=19+volt+3.42a+power+supply%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
