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 ?
 
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.
 
ahhh now that reminds me ! I may have messed up the first four pins i took out and put them in the wrong order .... i will cirtainly try it but ill upload a picture properly instead of from my phone this time for your opinions
