JH> when that short between those pins is released. I doubt at that stage JH> that there is a way to do much of any meaningful voltage readings on JH> the other pins, since there is no load attached to the PS, and its JH> voltages will not likely be stabilized to near what they might be if PS JH> were connected to a MB. With the AT power supplies I used an old MFM FH hard drive as a dummy load so it would regulate. JH> What I'd like to have for ATX PS testing is a box with JH> multi-lightbulbs, and pin points for reading voltages, which would test JH> all of the various voltages at one time, during reasonable power JH> loadings. But - I've never seen such a tester offered for sale. If I get a dead board some day I'll torch the connector off it. With that in hand something could be cobbled up. I like your light bulb idea. Auto parts should work. ... Mac screen msg: Hey Dude!
