The original power supply although quite reliable, it does generate huge amounts of heat.
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 10 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.
Please take care when replacing as the original unit runs on mains supply and may still have some power stored.

Features

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