PW70a... what can it really handle

**EBFoxbat** · 10-05-2004, 08:58 PM

Using mini-box.com's power simulator I get about 50 watts during daily use.

With that in mind, can I power my Lilly with it? I mean power consumption is rated at 9 watts... So mathmatically i'm at 59 watts used with a 100 watt PSU.

But it seems like more than it can power

M10000
2.5" HDD
Slim DVD
512 RAM
USB GPS
TouchScreen
Lilly

All with a PW70a (and ITPS)?????

Or should I get a PW-200?

afaik the itps can only put out 60w anyway if you are using its regulator

You serious?? So no matter how big your PSU is the ITPS can only allow 60W through?

That may explain my off and on problems.

Sometimes my PC just shuts off (more when my truck is off then on).

I have my 7" Lilli, 2.5" HDD, Slimline DVD/CDRW, USB Hub w/ USB GPS, WIFI, and Bluetooth.

Sometimes when I'm working on my PC with my truck off it will work fine. Other times it will just reboot itself.

I've had this happen a handful of times while driving as well.

Maybe I should just start my own thread about this. I don't mean to hijack..
