Testing a NES Mitsumi Power supply

Post by viper1701 »

Hello everyone.

I just got my hand on a French NES who was not turning on at all.

No obvious flaw on the power supply but I replaced it with another one I had left and now the console is working perfectly.

But I still want to troubleshoot the original power box.

I ve changed all the caps and the 7805.

So it’s time to test it.

But I’ve just realized I don’t know how to test a power supply without putting it back to a board.

What could I do to have an On state (equivalent of the NES power button switched on) so that I can test if the 7805 is now outputing 5v.

Thanks for your help,

Romain
