== Molex USB adapter == An eBay page showing a cable with a Molex end and a USB end is visible. The item is listed as "5V USB Power to 4Pin Molex(2Pin Wired) Cable 50cm". The price is listed as $8.59 AUD. The image has arrows pointing to the USB and Molex end, subtitled "USB Power 5V" and "Molex(2Pin wired) 5V" respectively. Voice: "As an aside I bought a USB to Molex adapter for powering the board." The adapter plugged in to the Molex splitter is shown. A screwdriver gestures at how when connected the 5 volts red wire of the adapter is connected to the 12 volts yellow wire of the splitter, instead of the 5V red wire on the splitter. Voice: "But it connects the 5 volt USB pins to the 12 volt Molex rail." A hand is shown holding the adapter and pushing one of the female metal contacts out of the adapter by sliding the screwdriver between the plastic of the adapter and the metal contact. The hand then pulls the contact out from the back of the connector. Voice: "With some work this is fixable. Step one: Use a screwdriver to unlock the pins and pull them out through the back of the connector." A hand holds the removed female contact and uses a screwdriver to bend back out the small locking hooks that were pushed in by the previous removal step. Voice: "Step two: Bend the side locks on the pins back in to shape using a screwdriver." A hand hold the end and the end of some pliers is being forced in to the female contact. Voice: "Step three: Use the pliers to make the pins round again." A hand is holding the adapter while a screwdriver pushes the contact back in to the adapter in a different hole. Voice: "Step four: Push the pins in to the correct sockets." The adapter is held front on showing the female contacts. Voice: "Step five: Check that it looks good." A hand plugs the adapter in to the single-board computer and the USB end in to a USB power supply. It has a screen showing the current voltage of the port which is 5 volts, but quickly switches to 1 amp when the board powers on. Voice: "I connected the board to a USB power supply as a test. It seemed to boot fine to me." A hand holds the adapter which is still plugged in to the supply. Pliers are inserted in to the pins on the adapter. The screen on the power supply is blank. Removing the pliers causes the screen to turn back on. The pliers are re-inserted which turns off the screen. Voice: "Make sure to use a decent USB power supply, something that won't explode if you short circuit would be a good idea."
