Rockman X100 Power Supply With MP1584EN DC-DC Buck Converter

Soloist Question
I have Followed the BC power supply instructions. Works great! HOWEVER, I am trying to use this BC power supply on a Rockman Soloist. The C1, C2, are obviously not the same as an X100. Does anyone know what mods I have to make to the Soloist to make the BC power supply work with the Soloist??

Remove C203 & C204 on the Rockman Soloist to allow the dual MP1584EN supply to work . . . .

Thank You SO much Cybercow!!!! Now I have to figure out why I have a ton of static..... But at least it powers up.

Static? Have you replaced all the electrolytic caps? (Except C203 & C204.)
And the switches and jacks may need cleaning.

I have about 30 power supplies including several adjustable from 5 to 12 VDC capable of running + or - , even a couple powered breadboards. I should be able to put together a couple of these.

I have another X100 but it has the side TRS power jack. I just want to confirm with you that I can wire this power supply up to a male TRS 3.5mm using the +6v to "Tip" -6v to "Ring", & the Shield/Ground to the "Sleeve"?

This is a interesting question because the original power adapter is regulated voltage and batteries are not,, my question is do you leave the 220 caps if you plug the modules in via TRS plug? Thanks if anyone answers and I apologize if this is considered hijacking a post.

C1 & C2 (the 220µF caps on the X100 board) need to be removed when using the MP1584EN modules. Otherwise, they will appear as a load too heavy for the MP1584EN modules to boot.
