I followed all the steps on your vid and done it all but still my my psu will just turn on 1 sec and DEAD!! what wrong? did i miss something on your vid?
ive done everything you have done except for i have a led rocker switch light for the load instead of the resistor. it turns on for 1 second then shuts off. the led is lighting up for that 1 second so i think there is a load. is the led not enough of a load?
all the resistor on the red wire is to give the power supply in thinking that it has a load on it and will stay on, if there is no load on the psu when you turn it on it will shut off. these psu are called switching psu.
Great process! The question I have is that your putting a red wire to the resistor and ground to pump out max current. So most other vids of this power supply set up dont have a resistor. Wont the unit pump current out when it has a load on it? Or are you maxing the unit out right off the bat. Do you have a regulator at the output that can handle the amps and if so what do you have? thanx
do you really need that resister to bump up the output? I only have a 200 watt iCharger. I am hoping to do without that to simplify things. Thx in advance.
Not sure if mine is even working. Any connect of green to black is met by only 1 second of fan on, then fan goes off every time. I have a 157W hp k-1603a3 with 12v4amp best output, not sure which wire that's supposed to be but afraid to leave it plugged in to long and test without knowing what I'm doing. Help?
good video. Looking to do this myself for a work bench psu. some people recommend switching the 12v line going to the fan with 5v to reduce the speed / noise assuming your unit doesnt get too hot.
You can do it 10 times easier then that,no need to open PSU at all!
1-Simple get a Clip to use to start the PSU.
2- Instead of cutting the PSu cables , get a molex adapter like molex to sata, just cut the adapter use both yeallow and black wires.
3- Keep the adapter, and the PSu it's still usable.

did u also cut the grey wire off?

@joferalfred The newer power supply has I believe a orange wire you need to tie into somewhere. I can't quite remember where to but yeah.

@ThePlantedtank It goes to the brown +3.3V sense wire, at least for my supply.

@IRFP250N There's also a purple wire that is tied with the silver wire or something. Just did this the other day but forgot.

can you add a CB to a power supply?

You can also put a standard small bulb to draw current on the red wire instead of the resistor, not an LED but a small automotive bulb or similar

Hey There,
Thanks for this ... I completed my PSU conversion with this vid!!! Totally rate it. Keep up the gr8 work.
