I bought a Avalon Nano 3 without the PSU, there wasn't an option on the indego site to purchase it with a PSU at the time. But I am having trouble sourcing a PSU for it, initially I bought a Lenovo LEGION what I thought was a 170W USB-C wall charger but realized 1. The sellers who said it was 170w lied and its a 135w, and two the pictures show it with a USB-C to USB-C cable but it came witha USB-C to Lenovo yellow connector power cable. Yes when I try it with my Samsung laptop USB-C to USB-C cable or my Samsung S24 Ultra cable (the cable I use) the Avalon tells me the PSU is not supported.

I have ordered a couple of cheap options off Amazon to try later today, including a connector that converts the Lenovo yellow connector to a USB-C just case in case the cables I have are the problem.

I would like to see those who have purchased a PSU outside of Conaan Avalon what worked for you.

Thanks,

That's a good deal. I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad PSU from Amazon, a 240w and I bought a converter from their yellow plug to a USB-C, the problem is the converter only allows for 100w to go through it and the Nano would only do low, not medium or high.

I checked Red Panda's videos on YT and saw the power supply he was using, yeap they are still on Amazon but I found one better which I mining with using the 240w usb-c cable that he recommends.

My Nano is doing 4.13 RTHR/4.01 Ave-HR @ 44c (t) / 90c (h0) temps, using 125w of power using the amazon power supply that is similar looking to Red Panda's, it says its supposed to be a 140w PSU.
