“if you want to make to psu work without the computer get a spare piece put one end in the green cable slot and the other in the black, this will jump start the psu into life as it thinks the motherboard has turned it on or something like that.”

There are uncompatent people who would try “put your tongue on the contacts”. NEVER DO IT! I think discharging with a 100W light bulb is the best way. I never repair pc psus because a new one is very cheap. If a repaired psu go wrong again it can destroy the whole pc. Would worth it?

let me rephrase that…. I have 2 spare psu’s and i’d like to use one in the dell, but both have the I/O switch that gets in the way.

I dont know much about psu’s except I’ve replaced one’s that have died and so on…. I have 2 that I want to put into my mom’s dell cause, well its cheap and crappy….. but the I/O switch gets in the way when i try to put in one of my spare psu’s into the dell….. cutting the metal to make room is out of question, so i was wondering if there were a way or if its unsafe or what… to alter the psu and maybe take the I/O switch off?
