Hello.
I have a 12V @ 16,5A XBOX 360 power supply(but this question do concern any commersial PSU) but I need at least 24V output.
I know that ATX power supplies often can be adjusted by locating th feedback resistive divider and changing its values but I want to pose you a question.
Lets say that I open up my XBOX 360 PSU, where do I begin looking in order to determine if it can handle a doubling of output voltage?
Do any of you know theoretical if a ATX PC PSU can be trimmed from 12V to 24V.
Regarding the XBOX PSU first I guess I should try and determine the topology used, then if we think of the transformer, it shouldn't care about 12V/24V output voltage should it?
Of course I need to change or at least check all output caps and such so they don't break down but can you foresee any more subtle pitfall in an endeavour like this?
I will open the XBOX PSU later tonight and then come back and tell you about what I found.
Regards
