I was just wondering if it is safe to plug in your PSU to the wall, and nothing else, just to test it to see if it works? Will that damage the PSU at all, or should it be fine to do?
Thanks a lot,
Derek
Plugging it in the wall does nothing even if the kill switch is on. In the large plug you should see a green wire. There will only be one. Using a wire or insulated paper clip with the ends striped off, jump the green wire to a black wire. This is the same thing the motherboard does when you press the case button. If 12volts is working the the psu fans will come on. Plug in a fan from the case to check the leads for 12volts. The other voltages will have to be read with a meter.
