The original power supply although quite reliable, it is becoming incredibly difficult to source with it's 3-pin propriety connector.

This also allows you to run your console without a step-down convertor if you are in a country that has 240v electricity.

Our new power supply was designed so it uses less power, runs much cooler and safer compared to mains voltage.

The new power supply is a simple DIY installation that takes approx 30 minutes.

You also need to purchase a 12v 2-3a DC adapter, center positive, 5.5x2.5mm barrel size which can be purchased on eBay or Amazon.

Features

* Fused Auto-Resetting Input Protection
If something shorts out within the Console / Power Brick / PicoPSU, the fuse will blow to stop more damage from happening.

* Reverse Polarity Protection
If you accidently use the wrong external power brick, it won't damage the PicoPSU or Console.

* High Grade Polymer Capacitors
We have spent a great deal of money by using high grade KEMET polymer capacitors to ensure the lowest output ripple, highest reliability and highest possible capacitor life.

* MAXIMUM POWER!
The NeoGeo CD Toploader PicoPSU V1 can provide (5V @ 3A, 10v @ 2A) meaning there's plenty of power for the system and plenty of mods.

Installation - Part 1, PSU Connector Removal

1. Disassemble the console with the 4 screws at the bottom and the 2 black screws at the back.
    
2. We will be focusing on the rectangular board at the back of the console referred to as the "CDDA" board.
    
3. Remove the 6 screws from the CDDA Board which will release it from the main console chassis.
    
4. Using a sharp blade or cutting tool, cut the plastic shown as below, this will seperate the 3 Pin PSU Connector from the rest of the connectors.
   
    
5. Once the plastic has been cut, flip over the board and desolder the 3 Pin PSU Connector.
    
6. This is what it should roughly look like with the Original 3 Pin PSU Connector removed.
   

Installation - Part 2, QSB Installation

1. Flip over the "CDDA" Board, align the QSB and solder the 3 points as shown below.
   

Installation - Part 3, New PSU Installation

1. We will be first concentrating on mounting the PicoPSU to hole marked "A".
   
    
2. Using the 2 x (M3 x 6MM) Nylon Screws & 1 x (M3 x 12MM) Female-Female Threaded Nylon Hex Spacer, Install as shown below.
   
3. We will now be concentrating on mounting the PicoPSU to the holes marked "B".
    
4. Align the CDDA board back to where it should normally sit.
    
5. Place 2 x (M3 x 12mm) White PCB Spacers under the PicoPSU board.
   
    
6. Using the 2 x (M3 x 25mm) Metal Screws, screw down the PicoPSU board.
    
7. Using ONLY 4 of the 6 screws earlier, screw the CDDA board back down.
    
8. Insert the other end of the 3 wire connecting cable into the connector on the PicoPSU.
    
9. This is what the finished installation should look like.
   
    
10. Test before re-assembling the console.
