Re-install my Power Supply

claprade · 24-01-2009, 10:29 PM

Hi! I have an odd situation here. I took out my power supply from my old computer to test another computer and now I am trying to re-installl it and cant figure it out!!??

At this stage (see picture) I can only wire one cable and cannot determine how my cpu fan was cabled since I have no 4 pin (on computer) to match any of my wires.

At present I can turn the power supply on but nothing happens on my monitor(not responsive) and my processor fan does not go on, I can hear a few clicks coming from the drive that's it
and I have to turn the computer off directly from the power supply unit and not from the computer itself?

Note that none of my Power cables have a 3 pin receptacle. I hope you can make sense about
what I am writing and that you can help! :oops:

I really suspect that you have Major...Major...problems.

Turning a computer on without the CPU fan working is exactly what it takes to build a boat anchor.

My CPU Fan has a connector on it that plugs into...a clearly marked receptacle...on the m/board...that says CPU...fan.

OK guys... I found what my problem was. I had a cable missing that was left on my other power box. The one that hooks to the processor.

Thank you for your trouble....

It would be nice if all problems were that easy to fix.
