Pete Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Is the power properly setup for a car? It looks just like a power adapter converted into a 12v socket to me and hp didn't build any specific in car machines. I mean, is it protected during cranking. Will it shut down gracefully etc. Perhaps the model number of the power convertor will help. Like this special in car PSU : Automotive ready: Eliminating in-car power issues, the VoomPC car pc computer is the perfect high performance mobile car PC solution providing a versatile, low cost navigation and infotainment / car PC hardware platform.
