One question, If you can read 12v when measureing the plugs on top (5:56) , would that mean that the Mainboard is faulty ? and the power supply 110/230v is ok ?
Great video....but think would have been more useful to add USB C port and get the result...also it would add expansion functionality too as well as power.
Thought about it for m build (broken power supply). While you can source boards in China that provide USB-C and Power Delivery initiation logic, they are sometimes of poor quality. And not many cheap wall chargers can supply 12V.
Hi can you write the model number from the Apple-TV? I search for a 12Volt mod for A1842 (Apple TV 4K (1. Generation) 2017 Now i think if my version is to old 😞 Great video!
HI, i would like to order this kit but the cost to ship is more than double the parts cost... what is technically called the part with the attached cables, i am trying to find it here.. thanks for the very helpful video!
definitely gonna try this in my 2021 ATV, and buy the mod from you for the 2022. For the 2021 ATV the negative pin is the one toward the outer side of the unit (looking at it from behind) correct! Great work and thanks for sharing.
I'm a little afraid to answer definitely because your "outer" may not be my definition of outer. Let's just say this when looking at the bottom of the PSU with the big capacitor in view, the Positive pin (screw) is towards the corner of the PSU. Hope this helps.
@mikegyverComputer on the 4th gen u have 3 screws the black screw to the left is earth as ur looking at the power board with the 3 screws at the top the middle screw is a earth aswell on the 4th gen its the silver one on the right that is the positive on the 4th gen. ur video was great but it shows the 3rd gen I think.as I say my 4th gen has 3 screws 2 black with are earth and one silver screw which is positive
anyone who wants to convert theor 4th gen its very similar but you have 3 screws!! one to the left is a black screw thats ur earth avoid the middle black screw amd go to the 3rd screw wich is silver that is ur postive tried amd tested amd working

hi if u have the 4th gen 4k u can do this but its slightly different you will have 3 screws in the position on the board as they show here instead of 2 black screws. it's really easy!! basically if ypu turn your power board so the screws are at the top in the left corner of the board. then the first to screws will be black earth to the first black screw. with ur earth wire obviously then miss the middle black screw and got to the 3rd silver screw put ur positive wire there. and it will work I've littery just done it and tested it yesterday
@@amikegyver I just ordered and received the 12v kit for the Apple TV 3. Is there a video or installation instructions for this kit? Thanks for your quick reply!
@@jvinsnes It would be way more awesome to have them powered by USB-C aswell. You could still use them with a regular phone charger, which apple can exclude so you have to pay them even more money. Also it wouldnt even matter where the frick you live, in terms of "what your house has" = Lower production cost i guess? So there are enough reasons for asking the question "why they went the extra path for adding AC, when we all have AC to DC converters already at home?" :D
consider the different models have different internal voltage … that’s why I replace the internal power supply with an DC DC converter, to also flatten the voltage shift in the RV … th-cam.com/video/1gLS6eaj8Is/w-d-xo.html

I would love to see how to convert the Apple HomePod & Homepod2 to 12v
yes! Anyone else would like to see? pls thumbs up
Great video but misses to call out which screws to place where as there a at least 3 different length and 2 special screws for the power terminals.
One question, If you can read 12v when measureing the plugs on top (5:56) , would that mean that the Mainboard is faulty ? and the power supply 110/230v is ok ?
Hi, excellent video, can you write which ATV models can be modified this way (i have the A1625)?
A2169 and A1842
Will this mod work on a 4th gen apple tv, a1625?

yes, i'm pretty sure you can find options locally. Just be sure you regulate the voltage. Thanks!

Awesome video thank you and I’ll be giving this a try 👍🏻
Great vid, but show it booting up next time👍
Can you drive it with usb-c or does it have to be 12 volts? I read these units only require 5 volts at 4 amps, about 20 watts.
Not this model. It requires 12v. The newer Apple TV is less then 5v. See our other vid on that.
This is great for RVs!
Exactly! Much better than cranking up the generator! Or using the inverter!
Is it possible to use 12V 1A power supply?
Thank you.
The original PSU is rated at 1.083a
Thanks 👍
Can you run this of a usb port on a tv?
The Newest Apple TV yes(and only if the TV has enough power from it's USB port), not this older Apple TV model, they require more power.
if I want to use Apple tv at home, what charger should I buy to install it, how many watts do I need?
Just be sure it's regulated 12v, and it doesn't use more then 2a
@@mikegyverComputer last night i tried this but still it doesn't work, same problem
@@dumitrusupostat Are you sure you have power? Did you accidentally short it out by reversing polarity?
@@mikegyverComputer the led blinks as before
Do you have a link to the DC jack and power supply you used?
I have an older model used, but this should work fine too.

Hello, will this work with the Apple tv 4K with new remote ?

Are the instructions the same for Apple TV 3rd generation?
No. It is also different voltage too.

@@kylekelly3641 Here are the instructions on our Blog. This was before being more active on TH-cam. mikegyver.com/diy-how-to-replace-your-apple-tv-ac/
@@mikegyverComputer thank you!
So the appletv mobo has dc built in and pre-wired?
If you mean if it already has Pos/Neg leads, yes. Just be sure to connect to the right polarity.
Which version of Apple TV is shown in the video?
Hi, the latest model: 4k, non-touch remote
Super👍👍👍👍👍...
I love brain of apple that make high voltage instead of extra low volt for safety 😅😅😅
Because thats what your house has

I love just trusting a robotic voice on TH-cam that tells you “it worked” without showing any proof of such 🤣 🤦♂️
100% it works. We've modified for hundreds of customers already. It's also our first DIY video, we'll get better!
