hi,

good effort but seriously some of your vids i have gone through.. they are rather dangerous.. maybe you are not aware of the safety precaution.. for this vid.. as what grpace mentioned.. 1st power off, 2nd wear rubber slippers, 3rd mentioned which two wires to short.. as some might not know which orientation of the 24pin, you might say is easy.. but if someone careless to do the other way round.. harm can be done.. so in future please feature more on safety before you execute such demo.

yo, i tried all this followed exactly. I turn on the PSU and the fan rotates maybe one full turn thene stops (i also connected a fan) then nothing happens. It's a fairly new PSU which i bought maybe 6 months ago. MY PC stopped working about a month ago, after I started to smell something was very hot, or burning, then there was a fairly large pop sound from inside the PC. I have no idea what the problem is and before i build a new system I'd like to kno what i can salvage from my PC now. Cheers!

What if there's no color green wire like an OLD IBM Aptiva PSU, what would be the alternate color?

Cool video but you forgot to mention you should not turn on your power supply with nothing plugged in also instead of rows you could just do "green" and any black wire.

Oh.. Well I've got my case painted a dark blue (drive bays). I'll be putting a vid up soon.
