    Question PSU Troubleshooting

    I had one of my Folding rigs die on me.
    I have a multimeter.
    Does anyone know which pins to check to on the PSU plug after it is removed from the mobo?
    Thanks

    edit: I can only find voltage on one wire, that is the green wire.
    Does anyone know which pins to short to turn the PSU on so I can check other stuff?

    Thanks for the info guys, and linky.
    Its official, I have a bad PSU.
    Hard to believe a Farmer doesn't have a spare.
    Dang it, I should have bought an extra one from TheDude last week when I stopped by.

    Now I'm down a rig for at least 24 hours..........
    You know how sad that is,
    One of my babies is sick.....

    Thanks again for the help!

    Hmm, I wonder if I should take the PSU apart and mess with it?
    Maybe I should unplug it first, ... otherwise :smileysex
