the voltages before connecting green (pin 9) to black
green (pin9) = 5volts
pink (pin11) = 3.33volts
everything else 0v
when i connect green (pin9) to ground
pink (pin9) = -1.67v ish
grey (pin7) = -5.04v
also a funky smell comes from inside the box
so i belive this is not the correct thing to do
Computer power supplies REQUIRE a load, you cannot simply power one up without having some sort of load. Most hobbyists connect a power resistor across the 12V lines to provide this load. Google it.
not all psu's require a load! i run a few without any load at start up. from what i can gather the compaq is a special case and isnt standard wireing. i have a feeling you have to tie the white wire high. but i cant find anything clear on it
ive looked on the website i am trying to match the pin 8 because that one is missing and i cant find it i will take a picture of my connector and post it here
my feeling is tie the white to 5+ plus its just a guess, i only use ATX psu's try shorting the white wire and 5+ briefly and see what happens. but be careful you dont make magic smoke
when i connect the white to green the fan twitches then stops
on the white molex connector thr orange (i belive it is ment to be yellow in other computers) goes to 10V and then drops down to 0V
the red on the molex goes to 0.38v and then goes back to 0V
I am going to venture a guess this is not a standard ATX form factor pin out. Even the color scheme is weird. Frequently some server and workstations deviate but generally the colors remain uniform.
I did find the attached image in a Compaq service manual and it is really different including how the pin numbers are designated. Unfortunately it doesn't have a color code scheme. The namiing conventions are peculiar too. Anyway, it may be of some help.
when you connect the grey wire to the brown wire
then connect and disconnect the green and the white the psu starts up for half a second if you connect and disconnect repeartedly the psu seems to turn on (if you keep up the connection and disconnection)
it even powers up the cd drive that i have connected to the molex but you have to (conect and disconnect ) really fast for that
This connector pin out is likely what you have. Also my read is that to start a Compaq PSU you need to present a logic high (opposite of ATX form factor) on the PWR ON/STBY line. Pin 17 should be the 5 V Aux and always on with 5 V. Pin 8 should be the PWR ON pin. So a jumper between pins 17 and 8 should start the thing.
I am not 100% on this so your call as to trying it.
