My G98DH will no longer power up, and it doesn't appear to be the fuse.

I haven't opened it up yet, but given all the discussion, I suspect the SMPS.

Has anyone replaced the SMPS with a LPS in the G98? I did Google search, but failed to find a posting.

Cheers, Ian

Never say never, but I think it would be difficult to fit an LPS into any G-series player.

Your best best is probably to consider one of the FG Elektronic supplies.

So, I've read through this thread and am trying to figure out in terms of quality (best to least), what are the options that work with a G68ADV with a minimum of fuss? I saw one post about someone who bought the Acopian 51212T13A but it seems from the chart that that one is too big and won't fit in the G68? Is that correct.

Thanks for all the research and trial and error you've done!!!

I bought a power-one hcbb-75w-ag on eBay.de. Not implemented it yet thought.

Hi Brax,

There are lots of alternatives:
HCAA-60W
HCBB-75W
CP-131A
HDBB-105W
HDCC-150W

Condor and Power One make all those models, they're effectively the same thing.

Hello to all.

Excused my writing, I am French and... blush

Thank you for great work.
The reading is very interesting.
I have recently a CP498 LPUS but I do not have the instructions.
It is possible to confirm how I connect it in Meridian G61R?
Red.
Red.
Black.
Black.
Blue.
Yellow.

Is it also necessary to change the voltage? :
5.0v
5.2v

I am going to have to make a LPSU outside.

Thank you again for everything work.

Hello,

I want to change the PSU in the 861v2.
Is this Condor / SL Power HCBB75W-A+G adequate to put in the case and with correct intensities?

Thanks in advance

This is the SMPS that several HH's have used.

Hi everyone

I have read all the posts in this discussion (and others) and remain uncertain of what I should do.

I have a G68. I replaced the original power supply a couple of years ago with another Switch Mode Power Supply. It is now clicking so I need to repeat the process. My quesution is whether I should take this opportunity to switch (excuse the pun) to using an external linear power supply or just bung in another SMPS. I am a touch reluctant to go down that path again given the previous one has not lasted all that long.

Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated. I need to act soon as the G68 is clicking a lot.

Thanks
Paul
