Hello everybody, I'll teach you how to adapt a PC power supply in the ps3.
In this case I had already done it once and I'm doing this...
...to another friend and sharing this time on internet.
I have some details that I would quote:
First:
the other time I used a power source that cost 20, 30 R$ Reais ( Brazilian currency)
with a ON/OFF switch
in this case we will need only one output 5v and a 12v.
I'll be using this cables and cutting the connector out.
for the connectors I'll be using these here.
Coolers connectors that I removed from a bad motherboard.
and a female four-point connector also removed from a motherboard.
and the four-point male from the power supply.
NOTE: SEE THE DESCRIPTION OF VIDEO FOR TUTORIAL 1.2 WITH SOME UPDATES ABOUT THE CONNECTORS.
First of all I will be testing the power supply.
I made a jumper to power up the source directly without the need for a PC.
and test voltages.
usually by default the colors of the cables from the power supply are equal, but this is not a rule.
5v ( Red cable + Black Cable )
and the other side...
11,87V ( 12V ) Yellow cable + black Cable
and is what we need.
so now I'll be opening the PSU...
it is already open.
I'll be picking up the wire cutter and removing all the cables that will not need.
not to get messy.
the jumper cable to connect direct from the source I'll show you.
ill cut now but i will show exactly the cable is.
I will separate these two cables to the jumper, then connects them directly to the source
to generate power so that outlet.
that's it...
separete these cable to use after.
cables that I will not use, I cut them
*CUTTING THEM WAS NOT A GREAT IDEA*
*after that I decided to remove the wires by removing the solder.*
well, here with the wires ready to be removed ...
I will be using a soldering iron to remove the wires one by one.
the wires that i will not use.
ready ... done everything ... removed all the wires that I will not use.
So what's left now is ...
The 5v and 12v wires (red / black / black / yellow)
and the two wires to make a jumper. ( in this case Green and Black )
made the process of removing all the wires, it looks like it was.
better, right ?
getting back only the cables and 5v ,12v and Jumper (Green + Black).
* POWER JUMPER ( BLACK + GREEN ) TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE.
*POWER ON IN THE ON/OFF SWITCH
*measure the voltage again to make sure everything is right.*
5 Volts ( red + black )
12 Volts ( 11,86 this time ) ( Yellow + black )
ATENTION *measure the voltage again to make sure everything is right.*
or check the wires with masking tape or anything to not get lost.
Another important thing ...
whenever you are working with the power supply is connected...
...and the wires are peeled, avoid touching them..
the power supply can shut down and in some cases can burn*
well ... now to the connectors...
"ah but Italo, why we are working with different connectors"
well ... different connectors to be able to know what the 5V and 12V.
in this case, these connectors I took them to an old motherboard...
...but you can buy a connector (MOLEX CONECOTOR RECOMMEND A MALE AND A FEMALE )
(see the photo in the link in description)
The other connector is that you plug the cooler on the motherboard...
...i don't know if the right to see because the focus is horrible.
this connector I am using the 5V on it.
good as you can see, the PSU is disassembled why I decided to paint the case.
Another thing that is extremely useful here *spaghetti thermal retract (I do not know the English name)
it serves to make this finish here...
and avoid using electrical tape, leaving a beautiful job.
Just put on the wire and use a lighter to heat up.
he has the same function of eletrical tape.
and gets a job well done at the end.
now go to the console.
here we have the console and this is the psu ...
and that source is burned.
it, we have two outputs:
5 volts output, which is in front.
and have the output 12volts which is here.
this source does not generate the 12 volts in which case the problem is.
and am replacing it by a pc power supply.
a new energy source is $ 150 Reais Brazilian currency - about 75 dollars)
a used source ! ( yes... in Brazil, all is expensive )
that was when I decided to use a pc power supply.
on console has pins which goes the 12v.
and the wire where the 5v enters.
if you're a person like me, don't know how to use a soldering iron right.
I'll do it here...
to prevent dripping solder in the console circuit.
here, we have the Ground and 12v.
and here, just burn the "thermal retract". ( i dont know the name in english )
a nice finish to get a beautiful job.
we go to the part of 5volts. and it requires a little more attention.
because the 5v output, we have three pins:
PSON / GND ( Ground ) / 5v
So it requires more attention because the cable that comes in the ps3 is white.
and see where to plug the 5v wire and Ground.
and here we have:
5volts, Ground...
and here PSON, which im not using.
I'm passing the cables through this hole...
...in the back of console.
just for the console does not lose his beauty.
to be closed.
and now just left to me put the last connector which is 12v.
well... with the connectors and the PC Power supply set up.
and the power supply painted.
cool... hum !?
The connectos, 5 volts and 12 volts.
each connector diferent just to dont plug it wrong and burn your house. :)
now is... for the test.
the stand by light is on !
now... i'll the console and test.
all right... its do or die ( or explode the house :D )
that's it !!!
guys ... this is it... I hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
