Next, grab a couple of male terminals, strip a few mm of insulation from the wire, and crimp the terminals to the end of the wire. So, you can now power your pump, LEDs, or anything else without having to have power coursing through your motherboard - winner! Do make sure you are careful, and if you have any questions, just ask! Login Register. Next, bend the wire so that it looks like this; it really is that simple.
You are ready to go! Now you have a nice little tool that will allow you to test a PSU easily. It is fully insulated and can't be easily knocked off during testing, as it is held in place by the clip and the terminals are secured.

I use the 5V wires which is what they need. I thought that my problem would be solved with shortening the brown and orange wires but it is still happening. Do you have any idea what else could be the issue?
Easy way to turn on a PS with a twenty pin plug, no need to cut into anything. Question 3 years ago on Introduction. I like this kind of projects. What are some applications would you apply it to? I would try to use it with a 'smart plug' and activate remotely. Shouldn't your switch be a "pushbutton" switch the one with the spring, that make it come back in place and not a "constant contact" one sorry i'm hard to understand, i don't know the english term for these 2.
When you use a power supply, check your need and the power used Reply 5 years ago. A momentary switch push button will not keep the power supply on, in a computer motherboard there is circuitry that keep the power supply on.
Reply 3 years ago. Awesome, used this trick often in the past but forgot about it This tutorial is perfect and gets to the point. I used another "Youtube" to get an old unit working with the "Green Wire" method, worked well but the unit was old so I decided to use a "less old" unit, Nope, just a quick flick of the fan.
I connected the Brown wire to an orange wire, up it came. Thank you to the original poster and more so, now, the comenters. Thanks all! Question 1 year ago. This Pwr Sply was just working. Found bad connection from Frt Pnl Switch to Mobo so fixed it but no good; still dead.
Right now it's out of its case and on the shelf waiting for field medics to check it out. Otherwise, can you advise where to get a replacement for it???
Any other ideas? Reply 2 years ago. EdwinM73 thank you SO much! Superb advice regarding the brown wire. I've been struggling with this problem for some time now, so the power supply went off suddenly since I wasn't using the brown wire! Now it works perfectly by following your advice! You missed something important for 24 pin PSU,s. Your 24 pin psu will now work as intended standing alone. Hope i helped you all :. Reply 4 years ago. I am also running into the same problem and landed on your response here in regards to connecting the brown to an orange connector.
So I have tried this, and still the PSU will turn off as soon as I put load on the 12v 4pin connectors. One thing different though is that my pin 13, is actually brown and orange. There is two wires going to the pin.
What does this mean? Does this work differently? The pin 13 will be the orange already connected to the brown, nothing to do there.
