Re: [MLUG] HP Pavilion power supply anyone?

[Mark Rages <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

If you can find the pinout of the nonstandard supply (not too hard
with a multimeter) you can splice the plug onto a standard supply. 
I've done this before w/ a nonstandard Dell server supply.  Here's a
tip: don't solder near the motherboard, or a drop of molten solder
*will* fall right into the fine-pitch pins of the IDE controller IC,
rendering the whole board useless until you can find an SMD rework
station.  Don't ask how I know this.
