Power Supply fan/power won't turn on x2

Angst · 10-20-2008, 12:39 PM

Hi, it's just as the title implies, i've bought two power supplies (same PSU) and neither works. Well the first, I can hear a very quiet ringing sound, but for the second, nothing at all. The fans will not turn on even after testing it (plugging it into an outlet first w/ and w/o surge protector and hooking it up to a case fan).

That is the item and all the requirements. Seeing as how both aren't working, are they getting enough power? If not, how can I fix that.

Add: BTW, i've hooked the first up to my desktop and nothing turns on.
