RE: [OT] Can a dodgy power socket burn out HDD's?



Check they have a separate dummy load for each connector type, I saw
one
that just commoned all the 12s together to one resistor and volt meter, and
you had to have the mo-bo one plugged in so that it would powerup.

Nahhhhh!

The ones I've seen at maplin have sockets for thw ATX mobo connector but
also for floppy, hard disc and P4 type connectors as well so should be able
to test the lot...
