Grounding Questions

[sargerob]

I'm trying to tap into the power going into the xbox 360 power supply to run a monitor. However, the new power supplies have no ground blade. Where would I attach the ground at, or do I even need one to run the monitor?

If there is no ground pin on the plug and you need a ground for your monitor, you will have to replace the plug on the power cord with a grounded one.

interestng idea. I can always just solder the monitor ground to that one point. Thanks!

Why are you wanting to use that power supply? Why not just plug the monitor's power supply in next to the 360's?

That is the problem. The new Xbox 360 power supplies do not have a grounded plug.

No, my question is why do you even want to power the monitor from the 360 supply? Be careful you don't draw too many amps.
