I've seen suggested here several times that computer power supplies work great for some applications in model RR'ing....But...
I have a couple of supplies which I want to use for lighting the structures in my layout, but to my surprise I find that the packs don't turn on when they're not integrated into the computer. They turn on when you push the computer's ON button....
So I need to know which of the many leads coming out of the power supply bridge the circuit that turns it on. There are 4 leads numbered 3,4,5 and 6, each with 4 wires (2 black, one yellow, one red) which seem to be power leads.
So...., does anyone know which of these leads will turn the power supply on, and how I should "jump" them to do it..?
Thanks for any help you can provide...:thumb:
