"And that's all there is to troubleshooting a power supply." LOL.

should have mentioned that some brands of psu's need a supply tester, available online, or a dummy test load, in which event the jumper method will not work giving a false idea that the psu has failed. My psu has a sticker attached to the psu to that effect that a load is necessary for the fan to work.

i shoved a thumbtac into my psu and it sparked everywhere, should I be worried? My computer makes loud buzzing now and smells like bacon.

Oh man, you rock.. It is so good advice - thanks for that .

Where is the green pin if all the wires are coloured black

[olivids]

Is it exactly the same if you use a copper wire instead of a paper clip if so I have to replace my PSU.

just wondering is it okay to leave the plastic remove from the psu that is on the fan

Hi! My pc shutdown in the middle of a game. And it would not start again? Is this a PSU problem and if it is what can i do?

Does this work for modular power supplies as well?

[pnnfbek]

[becharac]

Oh boy, i thought my psu was broken when i bought my PC, but then i noticed i didnt even put the plug in! Thanks a lot...
Im gonna go find an indian guy who can actually help

[SurvivalMeAndYou]

it would only help more if i had a paper clip

[Lefishn]

He forgot 1 step. You are suppose to hold the paperclip between your lips and see if you feel a buzzing to determine if it works

[aspirinemaga]

next time make background music even louder so I wouldn't hear myself either
