Is this for collection purposes, or did your PS/switchbox die?

Mine died.

 

I always leave my 5200 hooked up and was recently playing Frogger. Yesterday, my friend came over with a pair of 5200 controllers that he wanted to test, but when I hit the power button...nothing.

 

It's a 4 port with the switchbox/power supply set up.

 

I then disconnected that and tried to power up my 2 port with the same power supply, but again, nothing. This is why I think my PS went bad.

You can buy a brand new one from Best Electronics for only $15 at http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/ and B&C Computervisions might have them too at that same price.

 

The 5200 power supplies come in two flavors though. 9.3V and 11.5V. So make sure you get the right one.

 

My 2-port uses the 9.3V power supply (the same as 810/1050 disk drives). And according to my Sam's service data on the 4-port 5200 it needs the 12V unit. Yeah, the output is actually 12.5 even though it says 11.5 on the box. =^.^=;;

 

Anyway, the part number you want should be CA019141.

 

Oh, you HAVE checked the fuse haven't you? There's a fuse in the power brick and if that's all it is then you don't need a new power supply.

 

Let me know if you need any more help.

Just a quick correction. I need to get some sleep. =~.~= *Yaaaaawwwn!*

 

The 810/1050 disk drives use a 9.3V AC power supply, not 9.3V DC power supply which is what the 2-port 5200 uses.

 

Sorry about that. =^.^=;;

Ok,

 

The PS I have that died is:

 

Part # C018187

Output: 9.3 V DC

 

I'm assuming then that I was using the wrong PS for my 4 port, correct?

Positive. =^.^=

 

That's a 2-port 5200 power supply.

 

The poor thing prolly died of heat exhaustion and is most likely beyond repair.

The two-port and four-port power supplies are interchangeable. They're rated at slightly different voltages most likey because Atari got a deal on a certain power supply at the time.

[the 5th ghost]

Thanks for the link to Best Electronics, but I was only looking to pay around $10 shipped for one.

 

I'd even work a trade if possible.

 

Still looking!

Got a loose Cosmic Swarm or Room Of Doom?

[shadow460]

Tried the thrift shop yet? They usually have tons of power supplies. As long as you can get one that puts out 12 volts at about 1 amp, you're good to go. Hack the plug you have into it, and let it rip.

[the 5th ghost]

No luck at the thrifts, although I did find a box full of grimy 5200 games! Close but no cigar.

 

No loose Cosmic Swarm or Room of Doom carts to trade either.
