I'm bound and determined to find out why this NEW power supply from compaq does not start up. The cmos battery is a good 3v and has been cleared. When trying to bench test I applied a 1/2 amp load to a 5v circuit then jumpered green wire to ground wire and nothing. I dont think the green wire is...
