Hi again all,
As my last thread went, I give up on trying to get inverters working for my Apple iMac LCD displays. And one of the displays I am going to make external since I only have 1 iMac and two screen .
So, what I want to do is power the LCD's from the 12v source that fed the LCD inverter. There are 2-12v feeds and I think I read somewhere that they are good for 3 amps.
I have tried a few LED configurations using a PSU from a computer (I take bad PSU's and use them for 12v sources). And when I get close to the voltage rating of the LED's I start to get a whine from the PSU. That worries me. I want to make sure that I do not tax the PSU on the iMac.
Now, I have not done any research yet as to the new LED powered LCD's. So at this point I have no idea what type or how many they use or power consumption either. With that, if anyone has any info on this that would help me out, that would be great.
Thank You,
