wiring help (Again)

Exactly how I did it, On on start up, turned off fine, turned back on and my 230w Micron I think it was; PSU goes 'pop'.

Might just have been the pants PSU I was using to test it, works fine with everything else

Well i've been browsing the auctions today(bit impatient)

and dropped on a brand new 400W psu for £9.50 (inc p+p) so as soon as it arrives i'll set it up and try it

As you can see switch works a treat

but doesn't illuminate

(tried connecting to the other outer terminal but it doesn't work at all then) so it looks like i need another one

You have to wire them up specially mate.

There are instructions on the net I will fish out for you later unless you followed/find them.

just sent an e-mail saying it was faulty

never mind, cheerz for that Yewen, you notice the test psu

Yewen · 21 Apr 2006 at 17:11

Just had this reply from my e-mail

"Sorry to say, it seems we have made a tiny mistake with those switches. We intended to order 12v illuminated, but it seems we have ordered mains powered switches. The 12v of the PSU is not enough to light the bulb, but the switching action obviously works fine.

We are looking into sourcing a replacement that is 12v light able, and will let you know with what we find. Once we source one we can sort out the replacing of the unit."

Ahh a nice quick response

Good luck getting the replacement. Sounds like it should not be to long.

so this is what we are saying?

quick question: when it is in the off position wont juice be flowing to the unused connector, would it need to be sleeved/capped?

Active 95 · 21 Apr 2006 at 19:20

yep m8 needs to be capped
