Question Problems using Ituner when vehicle is running..HELP!!!!!!

Hi Guys...

OK Christmas holidays are here...and time to get this ITX PC in my Renault van!

M-10000ITX main board
Liiliput 7” touch screen…
80 Gig 3.5” Drive
Ituner PW-120-M power supply.(Actually may be a PW-200-M…but it’s in the workshop…and I can’t remember exactly)

Everything is almost installed...or at least to the point where I can test.

It could “almost” be finished by tomorrow…if I get passed this little problem…

I had the system running in the house…in an ITX case with AC power supply.

I then stripped it out of the case…and put it bareback into the van.

It worked!...well...almost...

If I start the engine...I can't start the ITX system.

It just won't power up...

This is of course a major drawback for a mobile GPS solution

It looks like the fan actually moves a fraction….but the system won’t power up…

I have a gut feeling that it may be the fact that the board is looking for 12VDC…as is getting more voltage….after the engine is started.

I think I read something somewhere about cutting a track on the PCB…to allow for up to 16DC…but I can’t now lay my hands on this.

Anyone have a similar problem…and could point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
