Recently I was Searching Drivers for PIG31U motherboard and I was shocked that mercury-pc.com domain was saled in domain auction to name bright. somehow i managed to download drivers from 3rd party sources. But the saddest part official website is no longer available from Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 12:34 AM.
CPU/Mobo End of Official Driver Support For Mercury Mobo's and Other Mercury Related Products
- Thread starter Manoj Prabhakar
- Start date
The (relative) good news is that since brands like Mercury, Zebronics don't design their own products, it's often easy to find identical boards by other localized brands of other countries and get drivers/bios updates from those places.
Finally Mercury got independence on our independence day hence the site went down and so the support when the clock struck 12 and date change to 15th Aug!
Anyway, who even uses these crap xvfm mobos these days? Their era was almost a decade ago!
The naming was from their older format denoting "Processor Intel" G31 Chipset. A "Processor VIA" CLE266 was one my favourite low power boards for m0n0wall back in those days, installed inside an XBOX 360 replacement shell.
Drivers are available at archive.org for most of their motherboards: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mercury-pc.com/* You can search by model number at the top right of the list.

Yeah, these were originally invented by mini-box.com and they branded them as PicoPSU's. I used to mod them to be more modular but these days you're able to get clones of them that are modular.

What is input voltage and input current for this PSU. I got a thin client mobo with a mini PSU as a donation. It lacks a adapter (12V 9A) to power up that PSU. Currently that boards runs under a standard AC PSU. But that is not the efficient way if that can be used as a low power NAS. Do you have any source for that adapter to buy ?
I've had versions from 80w to 150w, I usually run them off 12v laptop style power adapters. That 60w power adapter is usually enough for a DDR3 based i5 system: https://robu.in/product/orange-ac-100-240v-to-dc-12v-5a-60w-power-adapter/
Recently I switched over to Meanwell power supplies that have better efficiency: https://www.amazon.in/s?k=meanwell+12v+lrs&ref=nb_sb_noss

It has a fine adjustment, for around 11.2v to 12.8, but this varies slightly from unit to unit. I tune to them to a little above 12v.
