Any computer parts store? As far as I remember, it is a normal computer power supply. I can't remember if it is AT or ATX, but if it is AT and all you can find is ATX, you can do a jumper mod on the ATX power connecter to bypass the soft power switch requirement...
He'll have to build his own 9 pin molex power connector, won't he?
I think its an AT is that right? Is it hard to build a power connector?
I don't know which it is. When mind died I wimped out and got a free replacement from the manufacturer.
It's not hard to build a power connector; you just have to have the connector, the tools to crimp the wires to the pins, and the information as to which wires goes to which spot in the connector.
So I need a male/female connector that has 12 pins? like the one that is on my power supply? Here is a link to one that I found.

I just cut the connectors on the new one off and figure out where the wires go in my new connector? I think thats what you are saying.
Pull the old one out, take it with you to a computer parts store (like Fry's) and try to find one with the same specs and connectors. I had some local guy have a PS problem with his and he bought one new at Fry's and put it in...
That would certainly be the path of least resistance if they have one!
It's certainly doable with many power supplies but nothing beats the convenience of already having the right connectors there.![]()

I just realized you are both from texas. I was born and raised in Dallas. Somehow I live in Indiana now. I don't think we have fry's up here. There might be one in Indy.
Anyways you both have helped me a ton. At first I thought I may not be able to get a replacement. The guy who fixed my GL may have one he can sell me. If not I'll move to plan B. Which is find a replacement or make one.
By the way the guy who fixed GL would not give me list of errors for the numbers on the LCD. He basically said its a trade secret. He is not a hobbyist. But I tried.
Glad to have helped if only in a small way.
Check on Ebay -- I was able to find a couple of sources of those power supplies.
That's a bummer about him not sharing those codes. He should at least tell you what was wrong with yours -- that'll tell us what a '4' is.
