[Coco] CoCo shedding some weight (and heat!)

[Salvador Garcia]

 Thanks Bob! I'll get tot hat video soon enough.
I have question about the Cutting the Cord video.
The trigger board that you used is fixed at 12V?
You showed the PD power supply very briefly, what is its output rating? I imagine that it is at least 12V, but no idea about the wattage,
You did not show how you soldered the three white whites to the trigger board. How are these connected. You mentioned that the whites go to positive and the black one goes to ground, but I did not see a black wire, maybe it was hiding behind the white wires?
Also, you did not show how the male power header was connected to the CoCo motherboard. I assume that at least 12V DC is expected at this connector? I know that the motherboard has a full wave bridge rectifier to convert AC to DC. The DC output goes to the SALT chip. Does that mean that the output of the PD trigger board connects to the output of the rectifier?
Sorry I am taking so long in getting these questions out. Other stuff has kept me away and I wanted to rewatch your video a few times to make I understood what I needed to ask. Thanks! Salvador
