It would help if you said what PCB it was
It sounds like it might be RAMPS which has a 12V 5A input, this is limited to 5A by a resettable fuse on the board. The 5A input is used to power motors and hot end but not the heatbed which has a seperate higher current 12V input.
A 1.5A PSU will not be enough though.
