Probably not much use but I have an original Saturn 110v PSU in the attic. When I get the Xmas decorations out I'll have a look around for it.

Don't put too much effort into trying to find it, whilst I appreciate the offer I don't think I could do much with it.

Leaving it to warm up, hopefully the Saturn will be back on line later :)

Cool, that works fine in my Saturn @rubber_jonnie
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Just powered it on, working a treat, plus the shimmer on screen is gone, another hint at the original PSU being off.

So pleased to have the Saturn back up and running.
