Plan C | Getting into & Attempting to Back-Engineer an Amiga 500 (Heavy) PSU @Plan-C | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video I gently open an Amiga 500 power supply which has very well-hidden screws and then attempt to reverse engineer it with a few homemade schematics.
This is the 'heavy' / linear version of Amiga power supply. I take it apart in a non-destructive way so it can be put back as original. I just wanted to check the caps etc out but while I was in there I thought it would be interesting to try and figure out how it works.
I go through my understanding of how each rail works one at a time.
I did this purely to aid my own understanding but thought it may be useful to others somehow. Please let me know if you think I got anything wrong lol!
The model is 312-503-02. Made in West Germany. I usually use a converted ATX but like to have the originals as well.
Good luck All.
