Is This Possible?

[techman2011]

hello everyone

Let me first say i am NOT against ordering a new part for this, i am just curious if i can TEST it before i have to do so and possibly waste money, i am somewhat good with electronics (having a 9 year IT background) but this stuff is a bit off my normal scale

the situation

my uncle brought me a HP slimline S7320n desktop saying the power supply was bad, and he wanted me to fix it, he did not tell me beforehand that it had a weird supply in it, so i told him how much he would pay for a new one and he decided to give me the pc instead as partial payment on his bill for working on his computers,

I would like to take this power supply (HP 5188-2755) and cut the connector off of it, and rewire it to a normal power supply, i have already cut both the connectors, from here i am a bit stumped, it looks like the color codes on teh wires and even the amount of wires are the same, but in a quick test i attached the green wire (power on) and a black ground wire to the connector but the mobo didnt come on,

I know im missing something, any help would be great!

If i dont get a quick response ill just order another supply

thanks

My main concern would be that if the connectors were non standard and the wires that should normally be for a particular function do not appear to perform that function in the standard way that it is an indication that something is wired differently on the motherboard too. Be careful.

Perhaps someone else will have some specific suggestions regarding this supply, but without a schematic of some sort (supply, system wiring diagram, or motherboard connector pinout diagram) this could be tricky.

hmmm i was thinking that too, i can get a schematic from the motherboard pinout, but i have not found one for the "replacement" supply yet,

If you do get a 'normal' supply to work electrically, won't there still be a problem - that it won't fit in the slimline case ?
