w1tch3r Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hello all, My computer failed to turn on one day. It was working fine before i left for class then when i returned it powered on for a moment before going dark. Subsequent attempts to power on were met with no response, the PC showed no signs of power and the PSU did not turn on. The PSU passed the paper clip test, but i decided to check it again using an ultrapower PSU tester. When i plugged in the 24-pin connector, the fan i left plugged in powered on, but the tester showed that all rails were live except for the -5V. Could this be the cause of my problem or is it likely to be another component? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 -5v line doesn't exist and hasn't for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
