Hi All

So, I am looking to create a lab type PSU by using the internal PSU from an old unused PC. The PSU I have is a FSP-250-60GEN type which was taken from an old Packard Bell PC I have here.

Now - stupid me, I took the PSU out of the PC without taking any note of any of the connections, or where they came from! Also, when I plug the PSU in to the mains I get no Vout at any of the pins. So, I am wondering if there's some contacts or logic input required for it to 'power up' as it were, though I can't seem to locate a datasheet anywhere for this model.

It's a long shot, but here's a pic of the cables in the unit.

There is a pair of thin cables (black/purple) in the smaller connector (top right of pic) and I am wondering if this might be the switch or logic connections?

Can any good folk here offer me any advice please?

 

Sorted!!

Found out that ATX PSU's need pin 16 grounded to turn on, and a 10W 10Ω load power resistor to enable output!

Always learning!
