Released as the IBM Personal Computer XT, or PC/XT, the 5160 is based around Intel's 8088 processor featuring 8-bit ISA slots for expansion cards. It came with one 5.25" floppy drive, and one 5.25" full height HDD most commonly 10MB. The PC/XT used a 130W power supply.

Known Issues

No Power

Power supply will not turn on.

Causes Solutions
1 No load. Power supply must have a load on it to activate. See https://minuszerodegrees.net/5150_5160/MDC/minimum_diag_config.htm for details, or build a test harness that loads the +5V and +12V outputs before assuming the PSU is itself at fault. See https://www.minuszerodegrees.net/5160/psu/5160_psu_line_ratings.htm for guidance on maximum loads.
2 The PSU has inbuilt protections to disable its LV outputs if the downstream boards are shorted. Check the downstream boards for shorts. There's plenty of info about the tantalum caps on the XT motherboard being a major cause of this. See https://minuszerodegrees.net
3 Electrolytic caps failing/failed. Recap the electrolytics using the parts list below
4 RIFA caps failed. Some PSU variations used RIFA caps at C1 and C2 on the AC input board which will fail rather aggressively. Always replace if present, failed or not.

Disassembly Notes

External Casing:

  • The external casing of the PC is held in place by five 1/4" hexagonal screws on the back plate. One in each corner and one in the top centre.
  • The external casing must be tilted up when pulled all the way forward to release.
  • Watch out for the speaker on the left side when sliding the casing.
  • The centre screw tab may catch on the PSU and cable (lift rear of case when sliding avoid).

PSU Removal and access:

  • PSU is held by four 1/4" hex screws to rear of PC case and two slides on bottom of PC case and needs to be slid toward front of PC to release.
  • The PSU case has two Torx T15H security screws in addition to the standard 1/4" hex screws.
  • When connecting the PSU back to the system the mother board power connectors P8 and P9 should have the black wires next to each other.

PSU internal disassembly:

  • Once the PSU is opened, there are four 1/4" hex screws that need to be undone to fully remove the main board, in addition to an earth wire and connector from the AC input board.
  • There are three sub-boards attached to the main PSU board that generally do not need to be disassembled to access all the electrolytic caps.
  • If there are RIFAs on the AC input board then that will also need to be removed from the main PSU case.

Notes:

  1. In the two PSU examples shown here, the three sub-boards extending towards the camera are left Voltage Windows, centre Overcurrent Monitor, right Inrush Limiter
  2. The polarity of the C3 cap on the Overcurrent sub-board appears to be marked incorrectly on the board. See picture above. Check and confirm before removing/replacing. Presumably the PSU functioned correctly for most of its life and the manufacturer knew to ignore the polarity marking for this cap.

Element14 is the Australian distributor previously known as Farnell.

Important Note: I put this list together using the local Element14 website for Australia however after ordering I rapidly become aware they don't have a lot of local stock. Despite selecting the option for the shipment to be delivered as a single package once they had received the overseas components, Element14 shipped the Australian, US and UK stocked items separately, thereby tripling the postage. In addition, they didn't have one item that was listed as stocked thereby forcing me to source from another outlet thus incurring even more postage. Their after-sales service sent me emails that were demonstrably untrue and they ignored my repeated request to consolidate the remaining two packages after the first one had shipped with a single $1 cap. I ended up paying around $60 postage for $37 worth of caps. I suspect their business model is to make money on postage as the margins on caps must be pretty thin. I can not recommend them as a source of caps in Australia.
