No supply power to plug - Power Computers & Internet

Unlike a PC Power Supply, this type of server power supply does not have an on/off switch. It will turn on when plugged into a compatible server and plugged into a power source. The server itself will power on either with the power button on the front, or when the power supply is plugged in depending on your BIOS settings. Usually there is an LED on the back of the power supply which will come on when the cord is plugged in regardless. If it does not, the unit is defective.

If the computer power supply is a 240 volt unit and you plugged into 110 volt mains the the computer should be OK.
Some power supplies have a voltage selection switch on the back of the power supply switch to 110 volts and it should work.
If the power supply is 110 volts and you plug it into a 240 volts mains then you will damage the power supply and possibly the computer as well.

I'll assume that your old PSU is also an ATX. First, the plug that has a few dozen wires arranged in a rectangle goes into the MB. Your PSU's ATX connector may be split into 2 parts: the AT portion and a square portion with 4 wires. Together, they make an ATX plug. You'll find some tiny plugs with 2-3 wires for your onboard fans. You might find a few slightly larger flat plugs with 4 wires for old floppy drives. The rest should be the regular MOLEX plugs and slim SATA power plugs for your drives.

This problem occurs when the power supply detects a problem. The power supply has several built-in safeguards to help prevent damage to either the console or to the power supply. The power supply will turn off if:

• There is too much current.
• The voltage is too high.
• The temperature of the power supply is too high.

When any of these things happen, the light on the power turns red.
Solution 1: Make sure that the power supply is cool loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); The red light might indicate that the power supply is too hot or that it has overheated. Follow these steps if the power supply light is red:

1. Turn the console off.
2. Disconnect your Xbox 360 Power Supply from your Xbox 360 console and from the wall outlet.

3. Let the power supply cool for two hours in a well-ventilated space. Do not connect the Xbox 360 power supply to the console or to the wall outlet during this time.
4. After the power supply has cooled for two hours, reconnect the power supply to the console and to the wall outlet, and then turn the console on.

If the power supply light is still red, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Make sure that the power supply is plugged in loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); Make sure that the power supply is directly plugged into a working wall outlet. Problems might occur with the power supply if it is connected through an extension cord or surge protector.

If the power supply light is still red after you connect the power supply directly to a working all outlet, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Plug the power supply into a different wall outlet loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); To check the possibility that the wall outlet you are using is faulty or that there is a blown fuse, plug the power cord into a wall outlet that you know is working.

If this does not solve the problem, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Order a replacement Xbox 360 power supply loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); If you've tried all the solutions above and your power supply light is still red, you should contact Xbox Support to order a replacement power supply.

To help the power supply work correctly, follow these guidelines:

• Do not block any ventilation openings in the power supply.
• Do not put the power supply on a bed, a sofa, or on any other soft surface that might block ventilation openings.
• Do not put the power supply in a confined space, such as a bookcase, a rack, or a stereo cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.
• Do not put the power supply on a stereo speaker, an amplifier, or a heat source such as a radiator or a heat register.
• Do not use an unlicensed accessory, such as a third-party power supply or any accessory that plugs in between the Xbox 360 console and the power supply.
• Plug the power supply directly into a working wall outlet. The power supply might not work correctly if it is connected to an extension cord or surge protector.

hope this helps.

try 800W power supply? also make sure you connect the big flat multi cable plug and small 4 cable plug into the mother board usually on opposite side of the big plug

you can purchase a power supply from any computer store *********** board supports both standard IDE and Serial ATA connections, so you want a power supply that does SATA power as well. Unplug the power cord from the back of the computer. remove the cover from the case and verify that there is no green LED on the board that is lit up (if there is, there is still power on the board). unplug all connections from the current power supply, including all drive power and the large 24pin plug (actually a 4 pin plug that is combined with a 20 pin plug) on the board, then unplug the 4 pin plug near the processor. careful that the 24 pin plug and the additional 4 pin plug near the processor have latches on the side. Remove the 4 screws that hold the power supply in and remove the power supply, install new supply and reinstall the 4 screws. first plug in the 4 pin plug that connects with the 20 pin, the 4 pin plug has no latch, it is held in place by the 20 pin plug. then plug in the 20 pin plug and the 4 pin next to the processor. then plug in the drive power to all of the drives. Install the power plug at the back of the system and you should see a green LED on the board when you insert the power. replace the cover and power the system up.

When you have this problem on this PC, do not replace the power supply or the motherboard until you have first tried pulling out the video card. When the video card fails it can cause the x1700 to not power up. Pull the video card and see if it will power up without it.

There are many possibilities here. The motherboard could be installed incorrectly causing a short. The motherboard may not support the processor. A hardware device plugged into the motherboard may be shorted. The power supply may be defective under load ( when plugged into everything). No memory is installed on the motherboard. The power supply is too small for the motherboard that was installed. The first thing to check, is to plug in the motherboard connectors only with memory installed then try to power up. If at this point it will not power up, then you have a problem with the power supply or motherboard. If it powers up at this point, then plug in one device at a time starting with the hard drive and try to power up. If it continues to power up, plug in another device. If this process continues work, then you will find that either you have a shorted device or your power supply will not support the motherboard and all of the installed devices. It is also possible at this point that the motherboard is defective, by using more power than it should causing an overload on the power supply with all devices plugged in.

This issue occurs when the external power supply has detected a fault. The power supply has several built-in safeguards to help prevent damage to either the console or to the power supply itself. The power supply will turn itself off if one of the following conditions is true:

• There is too much current
• The voltage is too high
• The temperature of the power supply is too high

Under these conditions, the light on the power supply turns red.

Step 1: Make sure that the power supply is cool loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); The red light may indicate that the power supply is too hot or that it has already overheated. If the power supply light is red, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your Xbox 360 console is turned off.
2. Disconnect your Xbox 360 Power Supply from your Xbox 360 console and from the wall socket.

3. Let the power supply cool for several hours in a well-ventilated space. Do not connect the Xbox 360 power supply to the console or to the wall socket during this time.
4. After the power supply has cooled for several hours, reconnect the Xbox 360 Power Supply to the console and to the wall socket.

If the power supply light is still red, go to step 2. Step 2: Make sure that the power supply is plugged in correctly loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); If the power cord is plugged in to an extension cord, a surge protector, or a power strip, the current or voltage that flows through the power supply may not be correct. Make sure that the power supply is plugged directly into a working wall outlet.
Step 3: Plug the power supply into a different wall socket loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry'); Try a different wall socket. Ideally, plug the power supply into a wall outlet that is elsewhere in the house.

They all do, I believe, I installed a new one, into my computer system not long ago, are you sure your power supply is one that the computer can handle? You shouldn't have that much of a problem - I wouldn't go pulling apart the wires on the power supply, its made like that for a reason, what you could try is see if your power supply has seated properly, sometimes if your not working on a flat surface the power supply plug won't go in properly and will not be pushed in all of the way, try laying your computer on its side, and pushing in the plug also, each motherboard has a certain amount of plugs for example 20 and 24, some motherboards want it to be a 20 power plug and others want it to be 24 power plug, thats the plug thats connected to your motherboard, that I'm talking about. make sure you have the right number, and that the motherboard plug and the power supply plug match, basically have the same number of connectors, (I mean that little white plug at the end of the red,yellow,black, wires, I hope this helps. ps- I really had to push on the white plug to get my seated properly
