Bought a new Jeantech JN450W-120F-AP PSU because the fan on my old 350W is
starting to get noisy.
This PSU has a 24 pin ATX connector whilst the m/b has only a 20 pin
connector.
The PSU manual says it is AMD compatible and that the extra 4 pins aren't
used on a 20 pin ATX m/b.
Problem is that the connector won't push fully home at one side, the side
with the "extra" 4 pins and the PC won't boot at all. If I wiggle the ATX
connector the PSU fan will start and the green LED on m/b will come on but
nothing else.
Have checked for bent pins or any sort of obstruction but can't see anything
obvious.
PC is working OK with the old PSU back in.
Has anyone else had problems with this type of PSU?
Should I just return it to PC World and demand a refund?
