folkloricjungle Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hey all! First off, let me offer you guys a Merry Late Christmas and I hope you all will have a great New Year! My Corsiar TX650W is not working. I have checked all the wires and plugs, and I have done a test I have come to know as the "paperclip" test. It's where you plug one end of a paperclip into the green plug and the other end into a black plug? I am pretty sure the thing is fried. So, I was about to send in a RMA request but decided to ask here first. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpump Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If you've done the paperclip test, and the fan won't power on, try plugging in a case fan while doing the paperclip test, and see if it gets power. If that won't get power either, then it probably is dead, and you would need to RMA it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkloricjungle Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah it's probably fried. I'm going to wait for a Tech Support person to read this thread and see what he/she says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
