Hi everyone, newbie here.
I have a car head unit wired into an old Computer PSU and it really works well except for the memory wire.
Have made the psu switchable instead of having to turn it off at the wall all the time as each night when I leave my workshop I dont want to have it running all night.
When I switch the psu off using the switch the psu goes into standby but the memory of the headunit is not retained due to both the power and memory wires plugging into the same 12v supply.
I have found a 5v 1.5amp standby supply that stays on when the psu is in standby, my question is could I plug memory wire into the 5v supply and have the memory on the headunit retained or would there not be enough amps or volts?
Cheers Reuben
