Power supply question
« on: March 30, 2015, 09:24:12 AM »
Hello, I am trying to get a denver duck working. I didn't have a power supply so I decidede to try an old ATX power supply out of my old computer. Since I didn't have an old power supply to cut the plug off I decided to bypass the plug all together and wire it directly into the top box computer. Going by the pictures of the plug in the how to guide the top red and black wires all match up perfectly, but the bottom 2 wires yellow don't seem to line up to ware the pins are in the female plug in the top box. I decided to just hook up the red and blacks and the computer comes on, I am getting 2 beeps at start up and extra file dsa is corrupt error(I know the dsa is a hard drive issue.) I should also add I'm not actually hooked up to an s2000 right now. I also need to find the other wiring harnesses. I have a vision top box harness that seems like it has all the same size plugs.

So I guess what I'm asking is.

1) Do I even need the yellow wires from the power supply?

2) What do the 2 beeps meen at start up?

3) Will my vision harness work for the reel touch?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Pictures of what you've got would probably help. If I remember right the yellow wires on a pc power supply connector carry the 12vdc, red power wires are 5vdc. Do you have a meter to check this? Also, do you know if the original Denver Duck power supply provides 12vdc as an output? Seems like pc hard drives operate from both 5v and 12v (12v for the hard drive motor, 5v for the circuit board chips). Be careful - you could cause more damage than what it would cost to just get the correct power supply.

Are the original style power supplies unavailable or super costly?

If you look at the pictures of the original power supply in the post "how to replace the reel touch top box power supply" by qbert the yellow wires look like they line up or are directly under the black wires. In my picture of the female plug that came out of my top box the red and black line up fine with the power supply pictured in qberts post but the yellow wires don't seem like they would actually connect to anything. The pins where the yellow would go are directly under the red wires.

I don't know what bios you have. one or two, but most DFI boards 2 beeps is Parity circuit failure.
If it ain't broke.....Stop trying to fix it.

I think it is bios 1 with it has the picture of a finger touching the screen when it boots. So should I amuse now that the RAM or mother board is bad? I was under the assumption that the RFA error was being caused by the hard drive. Is there any way that a bad HD or corrupt data could cause it to beep twice?

It does try to boot It goes threw checking rfa, restoring files, authenticating files, extra file: windows/temp/perflib-perfdata-6c0.dat RFA is corrupt. system halted. reboot to continue. I have tried replacing battery and restoring defaults in bios. Also before I did all that I was getting like 4 beeps at start up before the one longer beep and bios screen.

It's telling you in the error whats wrong. "RFA is corrupt" is a bad file on the hard drive. There is nothing wrong with the motherboard.

What game is it?

Thank,s I found some one willing to sell me a hard drive, I guess I just wanted to be shore there wasn't something else wrong with the computer. The machine was a duck. About a month after I got this machine it came up with this error. I ended up getting a complete bucks ahoy kit and have had this duck kit in storage for awhile. I don't have the original cabinet anymore but I have a s2000 double gold with the large top box that I want to convert.
