Service Manual or Power supply connector

[newmusicpeople]

Hello,

Reading through the forum I find that the power supply might be the achilles heal of the Fusion.

It is a custom model, but I was wondering... does the fusion need anything special? or is it your standard +3/+-5/+-12v type supply you find in your average PC with a different pinout

Anyone know the layout of the voltages ?
Or is there a service manual available from somewhere?

Alesis used to email the fusion service manual upon request ([e-mail])
It seems to have +5/+3.3/+12/-16 V
Except the -16V it looks like you can rewire a regular power supply. Also, connecting -12V to 16V is likely to work. for some reason they supply the amps at +12/-16V instead of +12/-12V

Well, don't need a supply change yet ... but is does sound it's possible to use something standard in case of emergency.

I'm going to try for the service manual @ alesis.

Thanks,

Just getting a service manual from Alesis for your standard end-user is a no-go it seems:

"Sorry, we are only able to distribute service manuals out to our authorized Alesis repair centers."

That is a pity, but not abnormal I believe.

You can consider to contact the german Alesis distributor, they are familiar with the power supply issue. Perhaps they can deliver a stable one as replacement, my 6HD has one. It's not a big deal.
