PC Power supply question
<< < (2/3) > >>
SirPeale:
Well...yeah.  Everything would be likely fine, except audio amps pull a lot of juice.  That's likely your "straw that breaks the camel's back" right there.

Oh, I forgot to mention another thing, heh...

After I unplugged my P360 from my power supply connection, the sound card started working again fine so I know all my components are fine except for the P360.

Maybe it's fine but my connections are goofed up... *shrug*   What do you think?
SirPeale:
You got the pinout wrong?

The P360 is the fabled straw?
sofakng:
Almost positive I have the pinout correct, but it does seem the P360 crashed the whole system.

I was able to boot it back up with the P360 connected (I double-checked the wiring before hand) and it booted fine, but thats when the soundcard wouldn't show up.

So, I disconnected my amplifier from the power supply and left my P360 connected.

The soundcard showed up but the P360 wouldn't send any keys to the computer.  Like I said, I'm praying the P360 isn't fried or anything...

Do I need to connect EVERY button for the P360 to work?  I only connected +5V, GND, and "UP".  My purpose for this was trying to find which direction on the joystick was up (for mounting purposes).

RayB:
All this time, you don't bother telling us what the wattage of your power supply is.....

Smoke and a pop is a sign of something burnt. I'm amazed you got anything working again. Though you say the P360 isn't.... I'd bet it's dead now.
