Hello all,

I have aquired a HP Vectra VL 6 Series 7 which unforuntately is missing its power supply. The motherboard appears to have a non-standard connector for the PSU. Does anyone have any further information regarding this conector, or ideas for replacing the PSU with a modern alternative?

Many thanks in advance.

According to The Retro Web - https://theretroweb.com/motherboard/manual/36 … b5450401526.pdf - it requires both a 5V (P1) and 3.3V (P2) connection.

The HP part number I see is 0950-3473 (https://store.emprgroup.co.nz/p-80621-0950-3473.aspx)...maybe you can find a refurbished unit in your area

Many thanks for the welcome and info, hopefully it is okay to re-open my old topic if it is still relevant.

I have been unable to source a replacement PSU, I am located in the UK. I was however able to source the connectors from a failed power supply and have been investigating using a standard ATX PSU and soldering the cores.

After much scouring the internet I was able to find a similar PSU pin out for HP Vectras, but with 13 pins. My PSU connector and board have 14 pins, I have been unable to ascertain what the extra pin does. Below is a link to a website which discusses the pin out, there is a person that has commented that they also have a 14 pin variant, but not much in a response can be seen.

Would anyone be able to help me by shedding any light on what this extra core is for? Clutching at straws I checked if it had any continuity with other pins, but it appears it does not.

Many thanks,
Nick
