I can't find a power supply for my samsung 770tft fitted with a Image Systems Corp. fp1700hb-05 touchscreen. The connector for the power supply is a 5 pin din. I talked to Image Systems tech support and they told me to make my own. They told me to find a 12 volt 5.0 amp output power supply and gave me the electric diagram: "Looking at the end of the connector with the 5 pins top oriented and counting clockwise from the left side. Pin 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 is the pin identification. Negative on pins 1 and 4. Positive on pins 3 and 5. GROUND on pin 2." I can't find a power supply that's 12 volt 5 amp to save my life. Please Help!Here is the entire email conversation if anybody thinks they can help. Thanks, Scott

Me: I purchased a used Image Sytems Co. monitor off of ebay. I found "image
systems corp 6103 blue circle dr minnetonka,MN 55343" on the monitor. So
I figured I would try to see if you know where I can find a correct
power supply. The seller told me that the power supply model number is
MW116 but shortly after I received it told me he has no idea where I can
find another one to fit it. I have searched everywhere but can't find
one with the proper amp/voltage and no generic adapters seem to have
that unique round connector. The monitor claims it needs DC14V---3.0A.
If there is any way you could sell me the proper supply unit I would
very much appreciate it. I really appreciate your time.

Them: This flat panel should have been sold with the medical power supply
which is available from us for $385. I will give you the pin-out that
you need if you want to do your own wiring. Looking at the end of the
connector with the 5 pins top oriented and counting clockwise from the
left side. Pin 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 is the pin identification. Negative on
pins 1 and 4. Positive on pins 3 and 5. Ground on pin 2. You listed the
correct power supply but it is modified with the different connector for
the touch panel application. You should be alright if you make the
modification between the commercial connector and the one on the
monitor.

Me: OK, so just to clarify, you can send me the connector so that I can rig
up a generic power supply to run the monitor? If so that would be
awesome! What would the charge on that be? Thanks for the reply!

Them: We don't stock the connector ANYMORE because we don't make that version
of monitor anymore. The good news is that the connector is a standard 5
pin DIN style that can be purchased at any RADIO SHACK. Recommend that
you record the polarity of the voltage on respective pins from the
connector coming out of the power supply. Solder a short wire with
shrink tubing to the corresponding pins on the connector from the power
supply to the pins described below. Slide the shrink tubing over the
solder connections at each end to add electrical insulation. That should
do it. By the way, you should pressure the person who sold the monitor
to include the power supply. This was like selling shoes WITHOUT laces.
Good luck.

Me: Yea I realize now that the seller played stupid with a reason. I really
appreciate the help though! A couple questions though, any recommendations
on a power supply to do this with? The actual wiring I will be fine with, I have
done things like this before. Also this was adertised as a touchscreen. I only see
one connector which is the standard VGA connector. Is the touch screen also
through that port along with the vga? Also would this require and special software
to use? The seller didn't give me really anything other than the monitor itself. I
really appreciate your help/time.

Them: There should be a white cable that will connect direcly to your COM1
port on the computer. The driver can be downloaded from 3M touch driver web
page. http://www.3m.com/3MTouchSystems/downloads/TSdrivers.jhtml Load in
the Touchware 5.6 for the serial type you have. Just follow instructions and read
the “README” file that comes along with it. AULT makes the power supply. Check
the web page for local distributors in your area. There is a Minneapolis office at
763-592-1900. Ask where to by the PW116 if you don’t need the Medical grade and
MW116 if you do. The output should be 12 Volts at 5.0 Amps.
Anybody have any idea?
