I need to test an HP slimline 2xx watt mini ITX psu. The adapter that goes to the motherboard from the psu is smaller than the standard ATX. The psu is similar to this.

I went to Best Buy and their tester couldn't test this psu because their tester doesn't have a connection for it. I need to find a tester that has the connection for it, but I couldn't find any.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to test this, maybe there is some special adapters or a tester that can do it.

Thanks for any information.

Better than any plug-in type PSU tester would be the use of a multi-meter to test the pin out voltages. It can only be considered a rudimentary test. Voltages should correspond to the following wire colors, Yellow wire = 12V, Red wire = 5V, Orange wire = 3.3V, Blue wire = -12V, black = ground. ATX specs say the positive voltage must be +/- 5% and negative voltages +/- 10%.

Oh thanks thats good. I think another option maybe is to buy a mini 24 pin psu cable to ATX 24 pin and use that to test my psu.
