Power supply E-FAIL...

So, I tried doing the power supply hack like I mentioned in my last post. I had it all set up and ready to test.

...nope...

Didn't work. I tried 2 different power supplies. Both didn't work (one actually screeched at me).

So, wat do?

I asked a local FB group I'm a part of for help. There was a guy that I dealt with before with the Atari 5200 that was willing to help me out. After getting lost several times, I was able to get there and test it out with his adapter.

Lo and behold. It worked.

...

So, on goes the hunt for a proper adapter.

In the meantime, I'm trying to wrap my head around why the hack worked for couple of people but not working for me. Here's to hoping that I can figure it out.
