hey everyone, I am trying to rig up a computer power supply to be used on a benchtop.
I was told that by connecting pin 14 (in my case green) to ground that would tell the psu that the motherboard was connected and would work.
so i tried it before opening up anything and it did work...
so i proceded to connect all ground wires together into one
and all red wires together into one
and all yellow wires together into one....
NOW i tried doing the same thing (note i left one ground wire seperated from the rest in order to run as the switch)
and now when i connect the green wire to the ground the light on the back of the psu turns solid green and the fan kicks on for a split second just enough to make it halfway spin and it does nothing....
i'm not geting any voltage from any of the wires now and i dont know what i did to cause it........
P.S. I know very little about electronics so i'm following a tutorial on YouTube on how to do it.... but i'm stumped
PLEASE HELP FIX MY STUPIDITY lol... thanks in advance!
(edit) the psu is a LITEON PS-5251-08HT 250w incase that effects anything
