banjoplayinnerdI thought I got everything hooked up, but when I went to turn it on, nothing. No fan, no indication of any kind. The multimeter hints that I may have introduced a dead short somewhere between the power terminals and ground; either that or it's supposed to read 100 ohms or so.
I suspect the next step is to unsolder everything and redo it all. This is going to be highly irritating, but it's tired and I'm late and I have to go to work tomorrow and I'm done for tonight.
I may have a plan "B" for Saturday. We shall see.
ObComputerNerd: I opened up the case and it turns out that there's only one 12V power rail, not two like many power supplies have. I suspected as much. This means if I can get it running I should be able to pull the 22 amps @ 12V the radio says it wants, easy.
