Is there a way to test a PSU before installing it in the computer? I have read about shorting out some pins, but sounds like it may not be advised.
Could I just plug the PSU and hook up something like a case fan to it and flip the switch? It should start up if there is something on the end or does it need something with a larger power draw? The fan is a Scythe S-Flex 1200 rpm model (if that makes a difference).
I just tried that and the fan does not come on and the PSU fan does not start either.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Bill
