Sorry Steve, typo.

If the PSU comes on at step 3 proceed to step 5.

Sean

It does not come on thats why im at step 4 lol but no green wire do you mean grey?

Go to step 5 and see if there's any voltage. Do you have a multimeter?

Steve

For reasons I'm not sure off, it appears your PSU doesn't comply with the ATX wiring colour scheme. In that instance the green wire is used to turned the power supply on. I notice in your pictures, Grey is indicated as PS_ON. Grey is normally Power OK. If you get nothing at step 5, go back to step 4 and change green to grey.

No readings off meter, so grey to ANY black wire then.
Will report back

EDIT.
Ok so connected the grey to a black from same block and we have power.
I still cant get no readings from multimeter but being new i may have it on wrong settings.

Thats my multimeter,
I have the black in bottom socket.
I have the red in the socket above that.
The dial turned to the left to 20 (10 oclock position)

I can't open that link on my phone Steve. The black lead is normally marked common or com. The red lead goes into the one marked V. Make sure the dial is set to Volts dc not ac.

Are you making contact with the probes? Do they fit into the connectors?
