Hello Folks,
So my power supply for the Mikohn progressive no longer works. There is no power to the Mikohn ChamII board. I tested the board on one of my 2nd working power supply and the board is ok.
I tested and found out that some of the electrolytic capacitors may need to be replaced in the bad power supply.
I also noticed from the Cham II+ user manual where it lists the power pinouts and the harness uses +12 VDC, +5 VDC, Ground, and -12 VDC.
Would it it be possible (and is it ok?) to use a standard PC ATX power supply as an alternate to power my Mikohn progressive again? I noticed the ATX connector and some molex connectors also have the same +12 VDC and +5 VDC sources as well.
I checked the Mikohn harness and it only uses the power from +12 VDC, +5 VDC, and Ground row connections. (nothing using the -12 VDC row)
Would an ATX power supply work to power the Mikohn progressive? Or should I say would it be safe to use? I am wondering if there is anyone out there has any experience doing something like this.
Please let me know?
Thanks!

I have two or three chami's powered with old ATX computer ps.
No problem at all. If you want a replacement check with Rudydeals I think he has them for a reasonable price.
