Okay, someone called me saying their pc shut down blah blah won't start went over yeah psu is dead. So anyway, it's a 3 year old emachines.
So I picked out this power supply here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817159011
Now, look at the connector. It says 20+4-pin. That means that the main connector is 20 pin, and there's a separate 4 pin connector.... right? Well, the one I got, the main connector is 24 pin, and I have another pin with 4 pins on it.
I suppose there isn't some kind of adapter for that.
Im lost now, on newegg the picture looks like its 24 pin... Check it out. http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/17-159-011-09.JPG
That is most definitely a 24 pin connector. Why in the **** was it labeled 20 pin?
Edit again - I'm unsure of something now. I was reading reviews for other power supplies, and I read this in a review. "None whatsover. Easy to remove the extra 4-pin connector from the 20-pin if needed to fit motherboards that only support 20-pin connections...."
I assume the power supply I got is usable then, just need to mod the connector..... How?
