GET THE NEW PSU AS YOUR AMIGA IS WORTH IT.
The Commodore Amiga computers were originally equipped with various PSU models. Heavyweight, lightweight, in range of 24W-35W output power. Some of them were trafo based when the other where switching mode (actually quite good) but now, all of these PSUs have same problem: are over 30 years old and not longer reliable.
Worldwide Amiga Users community is active & creative ;) using of some additional gear is now a standard (HDDs, SD cards, WiFi PCMCIA, RAM&CPU extensions & accelerators). It's all making the power consumption higher than ever expected for stock PSU, causing the overload and high ripple.
If your PSU is not enough or is not longer working - it's time to get a solid replacement made of superior quality, reliable components complying the modern medical grade standards. It's 50W (55W peak) of total combined output power making it nearly 2x times stronger than original Commodore Amiga PSU and 2x smaller in dimensions & weight to save your desk's space.
