<div dir="ltr"><div>I'm using a 5V 10W power supply. I realize that the spec is 12.5 W, but the wiki points to some other 10W supplies (not the one I have). I guess I'll have to buy another power supply to test further. I tried a 5W supply and found that the blinking is different. At 10W I get both LEDs on for a couple seconds, then the one next to the SATA port blinks off and on very slowly. On a 5W supply, the LED next to the SATA port blinks very rapidly.<br><br>Once things are working, I need to run on battery, so I'm a little disappointed to see that the board is so picky about power.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 13, 2014 at 8:31 PM, Timothy Hurita <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:iviguy@outlook.com" target="_blank">iviguy@outlook.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div><div dir="ltr">Both blue lights should be solid. If the one next to the SATA connector is blinking then it's likely that the MAX isn't happy with the power source. I ran into the same issue using a high end 750W ATX power supply. The MAX would start to post, then the screen would go blank and one of the blue lights would flash. While monitoring power with a DMM I'd see it drop from 5.1v to 4.7v so maybe I wasn't loading the power supply enough. I did have a 10 Ohm resistor across the same power rail so I am not really sure what the deal was.<br><br>What did work was an ancient 200W ATX PS I had laying around. I can also power the MAX and an SSD just fine with a 10W cell phone charger.<br> </div></div>
