Hey how do you connect the power supply in a Chenbro RM22300 Case? Which one of the coloured cords goes to which plug on the psu? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also this is for an Australian Power Supply, if that makes any difference.

IMHO it doesn't matter if it is an Australian PSU. (Power Supply Unit)

The only thing that would change from country to country, is the AC electricity coming in.

Australia uses 220 Volts at 50 Hertz (Hertz stands for Cycles per Second)
Europe uses 220 Volts at 50 Hertz
USA uses 120 Volts at 60 Hertz
Japan uses 100 Volts at 50 Hertz

The PSU converts the AC electricity into DC electricity.
The DC voltage, and amperage is very small.

Now to the PSU and the Chenbro RM22300

Inside the chassis is a Chassis Management Board.
(It is a PCB
Printed Circuit Board)

Orient your view of the CMB (Chassis Management Board), with the blue dip switch to the bottom.
{Dip Switch is a rectangular blue block with 10 white dip switches }

To the right, and situated towards the bottom are two white Molex connectors.

(Actually they are each a 4-pin standard Peripheral power connector. Molex is a misnomer. It is the first company to produce a plug with this configuration. Sort of like calling an open-end adjustable wrench, a Crescent wrench)

This gives you more information on the 4-pin standard Peripheral power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#peripheral

{The Red wire is 5 Volts DC
The Yellow wire is 12 Volts DC
The two Black wires are Ground wires.

Two D cell flashlight batteries produce 3 Volts DC }

There should be two 4-pin standard Peripheral power cables coming from the PSU.
They plug into the two white connectors mentioned above.

(The shape of the plug, and the connector on the CMB, will only allow the plug to be plugged in, in one direction)

There should also be a Purple cable.

The Purple cable plugs into JP1.

Looking at the CMB as stated above, there are two square looking connectors to the right of the board.
The one at the top is JP1.
(The one under JP1 is JM1)

I would also like you to have the User Manual.
Download it from Chenbro Support,

After you click on the above link it may take up to 30 seconds before the first page will come up.
It may also take additional time for the file to fully download.
{Watch the download progress bar}

There is a way to save a copy of this file to your computer. If you are not aware of how to perform
this, and would like to, please post in a Comment.

I checked the power cord and the surge protector all the other things plugged up are still working. Is there a fuse or inward power supply that may be out?

Depending on the MOBO there may be a power fuse, Remove ALL power, open the case and take a look. Look for a In-line fuse near the PSU to MOBO (ATX?) connection. May be a bad PSU? Do you get anything when you push the on/off button? In the rear of the tower do you see a green light on the PSU? Any LED's? Maybe this will help: http://www.supportforyourpc.com/

Hi there PSU Stopped working. Dismantled and found fuse blown. Replaced with new fuse, which blew straight away. Any ideas as most likely component that has failed / needs replacing?! Regards,...

Follow these steps :
1.
Power on your computer and place one hand behind the power supply's fan on the back side of the computer case. Check to see if there is any air being blown by the fan and listen for any fan noise, which will both indicate the power supply is still receiving electricity. Turn off the computer.
2.
Remove the power cable from the current wall outlet it is plugged into and connect it to a different outlet to make sure the outlet isn't the cause of the problem. Replace the power cable entirely with a new one and plug it into the original wall outlet to find out if the cable was defective.
3.
Power on the computer and check to see if the problem still persists. Turn the computer off if you are still having problems and disconnect all of the cords from the back of the case. Set the computer down onto its right side on any nearby stable work surface. Unlock the left side panel from the computer by removing the two case screws on the back end of the case. Push down on the panel slightly and then slide it away from you to remove it from the case.
4.
Make a visual inspection of the power supply, which will be located at the top left side of the case. Check to see if the power supply has sustained any obvious physical damage such as from spilled liquid or possibly falling out of the drive bay. Replace the power supply if there is any obvious physical damage.
5.
Check the connections of the IDE cable that run from the motherboard to the power supply. Make sure the connection is secure at both sides and hasn't slipped out. Replace the IDE cable with a new one if it has any obvious physical damage.
6.
Unplug the cord that runs from the power supply to the hard drive. Turn on your digital multimeter and set it to the "DC" setting. Attach the power cable back into the power supply with the case still open. Press the computer's power button.
7.
A Digital MultimeterInsert the multimeter's black probe into the black wire of the power supply cable you removed from the hard drive. Take the multimeter's red probe and plug it into the yellow wire of the power supply cable. Check the reading that appears on the digital multimeter's screen.
8.
Replace the power supply if the reading on the multimeter is lower than 11 or higher than 13.

Power supply unit gets power as light on the back shows but pc wont turn on. Have tried differnt PSU and pc turned on but have had unit checked and they said the PSU is working fine. Cant fit standard PSU...

Try this to get it at-least back on with your PSU that fits in the case. open up your computer case, locate your power supply. With the AC cord still plugged in , unplugged the connectors to your motherboard from the PSU and wait about 10secs. Then replugged them in. This should power on your PC.
Also, You wanna check around where the PSU connects to the motherboard and make sure there is no damage. No burning,Discoloration anything that could be potential damage.
Hope this works atleast to get the PC booting up.

No power seem to be going though

Try unplugging the power cord from the backside of the unit - press the power button for 30 seconds - release - plug in the cord and press power, if nothing comes on and you hear no sound it must be the Power Supply Unit (PSU) which should be replaced. Assuming that the outlet you are connected is powered ON and there is no other external electrical problem.

Connecting my PSU to my Motherboard

The bare essentials to start a computer are PSU, Motherboard, CPU, RAM and Video.

Its possible the PSU arrived DOA. Though I've only had 2 DOA PSU's in the 15 years I've been building custom computers.

Hope this helps.

T5026 won't start up

Unplug the power cord, open the computer and disconnect all the power cables (the cables going from the power supply to motherboard and drives). Then reconnect the power cord and see if the light on the PSU comes on, if so disconnect the power cord and plug in the motherboard connectors and continue connecting components one by one to determine which may be the problem. If no power light with everything disconnected then the PSU needs replaced.
