power supply

Post by nov0798 »

I tried searching the forum, but couldnt find what i was looking for. Anyway does someone know of an article to modify a computer power supply to be used as a 12v dc power source outside of the computer? I know it already puts out 12v but how do i get the ps to turn on? thanks

is that what you mean? run it independantly from the case power switch?

use a paper clip connect (short) one end of the paper clip to any of the black wires (ground) and the other end of the paper clip to the green wire, that's how I did a couple of years ago if my memory serves me correctly...

I don't recommend running it with no load connected...
