Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:19109667 | Brand: IBM |
Type: Power Supply | UPC: Does not apply |
This is a used IBM Model 5160 Power Supply130W, 110 VAC (that is, works for standard normal US 120V AC power)Pulled from a non-working system, but verified as a good power supply.
This unit is tested and working. I had an IBM 5160 that I was trying to repair and get working. Part of the lengthy and detailed process for troubleshooting a 5160 includes using a multimeter to test the power supply under load. (That is, connected to both the system board and floppy drive so it is d...rawing power) Under load, I used the multimeter to check all the power supply output wires and all wires were outputting the correct voltages as per the wiring diagram from the technician manual. So it is, by all indications, working. The problem for me was, unfortunately, a bad chip on the motherboard.
Vintage computer hardware is prone to problems over time which includes bad capacitors, blown fuses, corrosion, and other issues. While this is being guaranteed as working, there is no guarantee that it will last forever, will get your IBM 5160 working, or won't eventually have issues. It is being sold as outputting the correct voltages under load. If you try to measure it without being under load, you will not get proper readings.
