i cant find any information after search for about an hour or so but i what i would like to know if where are the 5v and GND points on the case mounted version of the sega saturn power supply
5v? That sounds familiar, i think the coin-sized battery for the system is meant to be 5v but that might just be a coincidence and i'm talking gibberish about the thread.
no im looking for 5v on the >> power supply<< ive not worked on this kind of saturn and i cant find where they are. if anyone has a picture clearly labelling where 5v and gnd are that would be nice
Voltage/Ground pinouts are generally printed on the PCB board next to the power connector... if not there, check the underside of the power supply (solder side), should be there. If not you can check the voltage with a voltmeter... but be careful. If the pinouts are not labeled and you can't check the voltage ... give us a bit more details. Is the power connector 4 or 5 pin? Model of your Saturn... a pic if possible.
yeah i dont have a multimeter atm, i have the 5pin connector, power supply is from a model one and its the type that mounted to the top half of the case
Check out this website. I has instructions for a mod chip installation on a Saturn model 1. Refer to STEP 3. It shows the connection points for powering the chip on 5v. 5v pinouts
thank you very much, now im wondering why wont my 50/60hz switch wont work, ive soldered to leg 79, and the GND and 5V and its not working, ive checked all traces around each area, nothing redid all the soldering and the same things happens, when i switch to 60hz it just ticks as if its trying to boot over and over. i havnt had the problem with the other saturns ive modded
I can't see how, I'm 99% sure that nothing is touching, no bridges that I can see. I guess I'll look one last time when I get home from college
