i had a hard time to make them run by power supply with 5v and 550mA power supply. Is there something wrong?

It seems to work only with 3 volt supply. I also tried with higher voltage, it did not work.

Yes, i have a 500+ power supply inside this puppy as we speak. It was extremely tricky and seemed impossible for me to get my power supply in so i like ziptied it and that caused it to bluescreen, you need to make sure you get it in correctly and screw it in properly, though i didnt know how until i had a repair guy check it out.

hi my friend im sorry but i dont have idea if they do or not we run are electricty on 110w i know my family in italy they run 220 the best i can tell you is go to a hardware store and ask sorry my name is johnny my eamil wise_guys2000@yahoo.com

You can't run them in series. Parallel only. Run a set of wires from the power source to the start of each strip. Incidentally, a couple things about that power supply...It's not as pictured (at least in my case) It has a noisy fan. I returned it and used a re-purposed computer power supply. Also, this power supply will not run 4 strips. If I remember correctly these strips run 72 watts each which is about 6A at 12 volts. 6X4 = 24A required. And with the distances you are talking about, you're going to need a bit more than minimum.

Your power supply may not have enough amprage to run it at high. I had that problem a while. Back.

Yes, they need power to work, but they are dc voltage so you could rig up a power supply on the board

I used 1000mA for three at the same time. However, I had a hard time in the beginning to energize them for the first time. Now they all work perfectly. Also, depending the distance from the power source, it will not allow you to share the same power supply with others. It's a little tricky, but works very well.

They are not made to accept battery's. You would have to use an external battery pack with an equal amp rating as the power supply output.

Also sorry? Yeah you should be able to connect them with out much issue,These are very low wattage.

Yes - that's how they are designed with a bit of work. Mine had loose wire connectors at the end of each run to link up the next, so you would need to buy plug connectors similar to the ones that run from the power block at the originating end.

Did you follow the suggested setup for power? The card insert shows the best methods. I would personally only use the ones from the card for safety.

Well if you have 110 volts i don't see a problem. You have realize that they are American made and thus use the North American voltage. I hope this helps you out mate.Cheers

They did for me. I had a bad power supply. I sent it back for repair once (no charge except for shipping), but it was an intermittent problem and they couldn't get it to fail. When it started happening again a few months later, they just shipped me a new power supply and it's been working great ever since. It was a bit frustrating, but I must say that the customer service was outstanding. They stood by their product.

I had to provide my own power source. Power is not wired to these points on the circuit board. Start with a simple continuity test using an ohm meter.

Make sure the power supply you are trying to use is the proper voltage and DC output.

Not a good power supply. My rig was using only 300watts and the supply would crash. Try to find a good gold certified one, you wont regret the extra safety

Mine works fine, besides a bad power supply from the start. They promptly sent me a new one. These do not record audio though.
