So ive been an idiot and cut through the purple wire on my psu 24pin mobo connector after braiding my cables !!! I know what an idiot

Now thw mobo light goes on and off when i splice it back together but it wont power on, no fans spin no nothing just the mobo led illuminated

Do i need a new psu ? Is this one now dead even though power seems to be going to the board ?

Purple appears to be +5VSB.

What I would do...Remove the pin from the connector, re-solder the wire together or crimp, cover with heatshrink and put the pin back in to see.

Got some pics of the break?

What do you think ?

pgi947 · 18 Jul 2012 at 20:33

403 error on the picture, make sure its in the 'public' folder on dropbox

marshallman05 · 18 Jul 2012 at 22:33

Ok hows this

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 07:44

Any ideas at all anyone ? Its a clean break so will be easy to crimp together but why isnt it working when i hopd them together and try a switch on ?

Still Error (403) on your images

I assume you removed all the pins from the ATX power connector to do the braiding.

Are you sure you put them all back in the correct place?

I still can't see any images so if you have any to post then upload them to an image hosting site.

If they're up to 1024 pixels wide you can post them as images. Any larger and you'll have to post links.

Upload it to imgur, that seems to work flawlessly on every forum I go on.

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 09:31

Re-solder it.

~Divine~Wind~ · 19 Jul 2012 at 10:25

Resolder and heatshrink then double check the cables you think might've messed up

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 10:59

Thanks for all your help guys ! I cant thank you enough....

will try to resolder it tonight and heatshrink it for protection and check those cables cos im bound to have made a mistake somewhere

will report back

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 19:01

So after using a special heatshrinked crimp and checking the cables its still dead..... any ideas ? Looks like a new psu ...

wazza300 · 19 Jul 2012 at 19:03

took out mb battery for 30mins to fully clear cmos? checked psu plug fuse?

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 19:32

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 19:44

So now thinking of replacements !! Gunna be bloomin expensive which i didnt need

How will the Corsair AX750 stand up to the tx850m ive just buggered ?

marshallman05 · 19 Jul 2012 at 19:51

Right so ive just tested the psu in a different machine and it works bloody fine !?!?! What the heck is going on here ..... surely it cant be my mobo ?

pgi947 · 19 Jul 2012 at 19:53

Looks like a time to get stripping everything out of the case and taking it from there.
