Replacing VIA ART-3000 Power Adapter


The VIA ART-3000 is a complete, fanless and ruggedized embedded box PC, designed for a broad range of industrial, kiosk, POI and signage applications.
it comes with EITX-3000 motherboard, a 1.3 GHz Nano processor, up to 2Gb DDR2 RAM, onboard Chrome 9 graphics solution, one 2.5” SATA drive bay, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four COM ports, six USB connectors, dual LVDS and a VGA port.
Current Status is EOL in VIA website. (http://www.viaembedded.com/en/support/eol/art-3000/)

Today I'm going to show you how you can easily replace faulty power adapter. The reason is i'm not able to get the quote and reply from VIA authorized distributor. So this is the fastest way of replacing your own adapter. 
The original power adapter is 19V output which is similar to most of laptop's power adapter. Here i bought cheap SGD $30 from Sim Lim tower.

Picture 1 shows 19V original charger.

Picture 2
Picture 2 shows HP Laptop charger which is also 19V. So now i cut the wire near the jack.

Picture 3
After cutting the cable near to the jack and I measured the voltage of the 3 cables with volt meter. Red (+) and White (-) has the output 19V. Then I attached Red and White cable to the ART-3000 power input connector which shown green in Picture 3.
Picture 4.
Before power on, make sure to test the voltage again. I'm able to power on and successfully replaced with HP laptop adapter with SGD $30.

I search in google about the wattage of the speaker found it's 3 watts. Then I measured with multimeter and it's 4 ohm. So I searched in China site and found the speaker about SGD $2.  So I just purchased 2 pieces and approximately 2 weeks time to reach to Singapore.  To be continued
