Hi all, sorry if I have not post this into the correct forum.
I havea raspberry pi which I use as a video surveilance with zoneminder software. It runs well from SD card. Now I want to expand the tihngs and add a SSD to be able also to record. When I connect the SSD to the USB port it runs but the RPi shows all the time the symbol its running underpowered.
I have some spare notebook power supply units which of course have the different ratings on the output, but surely enough power to deliver
the needed current for RPi and the SSD, the only thing is to know how to make the output voltage be of 5V and not 19V.
Any ideas on how could I modify the notebook power supply to get out the 5V with 3A or 4A ?
