I am trying to convert an Assassin ATX computer power supply into a regulated DC output for my breadboard. When I turn the supply on, the fan spins for one rotation and the built in fan LED lights, but then they stop. I'm thinking a capacitor is allowing this to happen when the switch is thrown.
I have a purple connected to a 330ohm resistor and then to the anode of an LED, the cathode is connected to a black.
I have a grey connected to a 330ohm resistor and then to the anode of an LED, the cathode is connected to a black.
One of the LEDs is supposed to turn on when the ATX supply is plugged in, the other when it is switched on. When I plug the supply in, neither light up.
I have green connected directly to black.
I have a red connected to a 8 ohm 20W resistor, which then connects to a black. To allow the supply to always see a "load".
I have a blue, yellow, and red connected to separate binding posts.
I have a black connected to a binding post through a 1 amp fuse.
There has got to be some reason the power supply isn't turning on. Any ideas? I only have orange, yellow, red, white and black wires left.
