Hello, I'm wanting to use a computer PSU as a PSU. The one I've just bought
doesn't work. I'm assuming that's because it needs a computer. So.... what
does the motherboard do, maybe connects the grey to the green, or the purple
to ground, or...does anyone know please??

And also ground the green wire to turn it on. Well...possibly green.
IF it's one of them there proprietary ones it might not be the green
wire...but usually it's the green one.

I sincerly hope you're not a bomb technician (just joking ~:).
