GW Power Supply Feedback
I need some feedback on power supplies. Gateway has sent me 2 power
supplies 6500703, but the power supply in my system is 6500583. They say it will work but when I talk to the tech support people that say I really do need the 6500583. I had a lot of work done on it at the Country Store to get is the way I want it and that is why the Country Store said it was a good thing that I got that power supply because of what I have configured in my system.

It will work fine. It is just a newer revision of the same power supply.
Your original one is Revision 2, the 6500703 is revision 4. The early ones are notorious for failed fans. It has the same ratings (250W). It is unlikely that they even have any of the old ones anyway. If they do, they will definitly be used, though the other one is likely a reman anyway. "RDBrimmer" wrote in message ...

Hardly any computer parts get remnaufactured these days. A used power supply is
OK though if it has been tested and then cleaned out of all the dust and dirt inside. That's the extent of refurbishment: test and clean...

My concern was this:
That if I take the 6500703 that my front USB and Firewire will no longer function as you read the H Auxiliary Power Connector. Thanks, Ron On the 6500583 it says: The P10 power connector is a 6-pin auxiliary power connector that also connects only to motherboards that support Pentium IV. It plugs next to the P1 power connector to form an L-shape on the motherboard. H - Auxiliary Power Connector The six-pin connector on the left is the motherboard auxiliary power connector. This auxiliary power connector accepts a power lead from the power supply. This auxiliary power connector supplies additional current for the front panel USB and is required for proper operation of the motherboard. The motherboard has more than one power connector because federal regulation allows a set level of current through each wire. If more current is needed, more terminals are required, hence this auxiliary power connector. Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds maximum). There is more available current supplied to this motherboard than others. Failure to unplug the power cord will cause shorts and hot spots on the motherboard and the component you were working with. On the 6500703 is says: The P9 power connector is a 4-pin auxiliary power connector that connects only to motherboards that support Pentium IV. The P1 power connector that leads from the computer's power supply plugs into the power supply connection on the motherboard. Although Pin 1 is marked on the motherboard, match the clip on the connector to the notch on the motherboard power supply connection. The clip is on the backside of the connector. On the graphic, click the hyperlink for more information. B - Auxiliary ATX Power This is a closer view of the ATX auxiliary power on the motherboard. This 2 × 2 power connector accepts a power lead from the power supply. This auxiliary power connector supplies additional 12-volt service for the processor and is required for proper operation of the motherboard. The clip on the ATX power connector faces toward the front of the motherboard. The motherboard has more than one power connector because federal regulation allows a set level of current through each wire. If more current is needed, more terminals are required, hence this auxiliary power connector. Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds maximum).

If you have the Gateway mainboard that takes RDRAM, there should be three
power supply connectors on the mainboard, the main ATX, the six pin near the ATX (basically half an AT connector), and the four pin near the cpu. If your machine has a separate firewire connection on a PCI card, it usually has a four pin power connector on it also. One of the smaller 'floppy' power connectors should connect to this. Is the 6500703 missing the six pin plug that connects near the ATX connector? According to the info on Gateway's site, both power supplies have all the same connectors. http://support.gateway.com/s/POWER/6...50052506.shtml "RDBrimmer" wrote in message ...

Understood. Many people think that remanufacturing involves taking apart,
replacing worn parts, cleaning, etc etc etc, which is the way it is with many non-computer industries involving mechanical or electrical equipment. Maybe I split a few hairs here? ...

Yes, my motherboard takes RDRAM, in looking at the connectors. From what
I was told it only had 4 pin connector and that the 703 would not make my USB and FireWire on the front of my PC usable. I should have another power supply tomorrow hopefully the 583. Even the tech people at GW said that the 583 was a superior power supply and that I should insist on that one since it is what came with my PC. Ron Tweek wrote: If you have the Gateway mainboard that takes RDRAM, there should be three power supply connectors on the mainboard, the main ATX, the six pin near the ATX (basically half an AT connector), and the four pin near the cpu. If your machine has a separate firewire connection on a PCI card, it usually has a four pin power connector on it also. One of the smaller 'floppy' power connectors should connect to this. Is the 6500703 missing the six pin plug that connects near the ATX connector? According to the info on Gateway's site, both power supplies have all the same connectors. http://support.gateway.com/s/POWER/6...50052506.shtml "RDBrimmer" wrote in message ... My concern was this: That if I take the 6500703 that my front USB and Firewire will no longer function as you read the H Auxiliary Power Connector. Thanks, Ron On the 6500583 it says: The P10 power connector is a 6-pin auxiliary power connector that also connects only to motherboards that support Pentium IV. It plugs next to the P1 power connector to form an L-shape on the motherboard. H - Auxiliary Power Connector The six-pin connector on the left is the motherboard auxiliary power connector. This auxiliary power connector accepts a power lead from the power supply. This auxiliary power connector supplies additional current for the front panel USB and is required for proper operation of the motherboard. The motherboard has more than one power connector because federal regulation allows a set level of current through each wire. If more current is needed, more terminals are required, hence this auxiliary power connector. Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds maximum). There is more available current supplied to this motherboard than others. Failure to unplug the power cord will cause shorts and hot spots on the motherboard and the component you were working with. On the 6500703 is says: The P9 power connector is a 4-pin auxiliary power connector that connects only to motherboards that support Pentium IV. The P1 power connector that leads from the computer's power supply plugs into the power supply connection on the motherboard. Although Pin 1 is marked on the motherboard, match the clip on the connector to the notch on the motherboard power supply connection. The clip is on the backside of the connector. On the graphic, click the hyperlink for more information. B - Auxiliary ATX Power This is a closer view of the ATX auxiliary power on the motherboard. This 2 × 2 power connector accepts a power lead from the power supply. This auxiliary power connector supplies additional 12-volt service for the processor and is required for proper operation of the motherboard. The clip on the ATX power connector faces toward the front of the motherboard. The motherboard has more than one power connector because federal regulation allows a set level of current through each wire. If more current is needed, more terminals are required, hence this auxiliary power connector. Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds maximum). There is more available current supplied to this motherboard than others. Failure to unplug the power cord will cause shorts and hot spots on the motherboard and the component you were working with.

Considering parts are such a commodity now, it would be a terrible waste of
money to do to computer parts what the automotive parts industry does. I actually had a customer ask about a 'core charge' on his power supply as if we would give him a discount for trading in his dead unit. ben_myers_spam_me_not @ charter.net (Ben Myers) wrote in message ...

Yes. Too true. Similar to the foolishness of replacing a failed fan inside a
power supply. First, it involves soldering, which I avoid. Second, one never knows what else is burned out and failed. How expensive are power supplies? Well, I had a dead IBM P4 system here, so I called IBM's tech support, who said that their first step with warranty parts was to overnight a power supply. They sent the power supply, but the motherboard was the real problem. Next day, they overnighted a replacement mobo with Fedex labels to return the bad board. The system worked just fine, so I called IBM tech support to ask them about the extra power supply. I was told to keep the power supply. Why? Because it would cost more than the power supply was worth to IBM to ship it back...
