Testing Your Power Supply With a Multimeter

Hi Matt,

Quote:

Locate a yellow wire on the 20-pin or 24-pin main connector. Insert the red positive probe into the rear of the connector at the location where the orange wire enters the connector. The probe should sink into the connector by at least 2mm.

Should that read "yellow"?

EDIT: Similarly with this:

Quote:

Locate the gray wire on the 20-pin or 24-pin main connector. Insert the red positive probe into the rear of the connector at the location where the orange wire enters the connector. The probe should sink into the connector by at least 2mm.

**TheMatt** · 10-14-2007, 12:15 PM

Yep, it should. Fixed. Thanks John.

JohnthePilot · 10-31-2007, 04:21 PM

In the absence of any further comments are you happy for us to take this now?

**TheMatt** · 10-31-2007, 05:55 PM

I still have to add some pics and I want to add a simple conclusion.

JohnthePilot · 10-31-2007, 10:02 PM

OK. Thanks.

JohnthePilot · 01-08-2008, 08:28 AM

What's the latest Matt?

**TheMatt** · 01-08-2008, 07:32 PM

All we need is the pics then its ready to be published.

**TheMatt** · 01-13-2008, 03:13 PM

I got the pics (it took awhile because we lost the cable to connect the camera to my PC). In any case, do I need to submit the pictures so that they can be stamped with the copyright info?

JohnthePilot · 01-13-2008, 03:25 PM

Yes please.

**TheMatt** · 01-13-2008, 03:47 PM

Where should I post them? In the article or should I e-mail them to you (e-mail would probably be easier since there are about 21 of them and they are all < 200kB)?

JohnthePilot · 01-13-2008, 03:51 PM

Email's fine. I'll PM you my addy.

**TheMatt** · 01-16-2008, 09:25 PM

Unfortunately the article is not yet ready, I left out the entire resistance section and didn't even take pictures. Doh!

John, is there anyway around the 25 picture limit? That has been a barrier.

JohnthePilot · 01-17-2008, 02:12 AM

No Matt. Do it in two posts and I'll join them later.

**TheMatt** · 01-17-2008, 08:04 PM

Alright, that shouldn't be a problem. I will try and take the final pics this weekend. Only 4 more should be in need of uploading/stamping.

**TheMatt** · 04-06-2008, 06:55 PM

OK, I have all the pictures, where do I send them to be stamped?
