    would having a lower amp on a psu make much difference


    have a dm800hd bought as repair or spares .. reflashed it and working but came with a psu thats 12v 2 amp , every few hours its just reboots for no reason all it can be ok or hours .. have another 800 brick ordered that 12 3 amp same as my other .. would swap with the 800 downstairs but going out and the wife will go mad if it happens to that one when lm out ,.,.


    can this cause this problem ?

        The 2 amp should work fine....the 3 amp block is used on the 800 SE,I'd use the 3 amp if you have it,friend of mine just had probs with his and I gave him a 2amp from a DM500,works fine now.He was having rebooting probs previous.
