--- Quote from: firedance on August 13, 2023, 07:37:01 am ---Hey Guys n Gals, Managed to get a slight upgrade for the thin client, picked one up for only £35 Delivered, just like the one in this link - https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/5060/ Should be able to wire the power switch like i did before BUT can't see an easy 12v source for the fans, there are tiny solder points for a connector that i used on the original thin client, not sure if i can solder that small tho and would they be live anyway without the connector ??? or i could use a sata extender cable and tap into the 12v/ground wires or would that cause too much trouble for the SSD, thoughts ? if i can get it work then the plan is swap them over then stick maybe retroarch on the older one and give it away to a nephew for Christmas :) --- End quote --- Couldn't get a 12v source, even from the SATA port when i used an adapter like in the first post, almost all 2.5" HDD's and all SSD's seem to just use 5v from what google says, so i'll keep "shumpin" as it is and a nephew can get a better retro gaming mini pc :) |

Well it has been almost a year so here is a update ;D, a few months I tried to power the fans via USB, some fans don't even turn on with 5v, they seem to work ok so installed the newer slightly faster thin client inside, used a DP to VGA adapter from eBay, still haven't given the older one to my nephew but his birthday is coming up soon or maybe Christmas :lol |
