I'm currently in the process of building a new computer. Today I received my power supply, and now it's not working. The power supply is an OCZ GameXStream 700W.
I haven't got my memory or CPU yet, but I wanted to test the power supply, just to make sure it worked like they said. I did the paperclip trick by shorting the green wire to the black wire. Powered up just fine. However, when I tried it a second time, I accidentally touched the green wire to the blue wire. Now, I'm getting no response. When I try to power it on (with the right wires this time), it takes about 10 seconds to start, flickers on for a second, then I can see the LEDs on the fan fade. I got this off eBay and there was no return policy.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Warranty is also expired, plus I opened the case. (Nothing looks burnt inside the power supply).
This isn't my first build or anything, just wasn't paying attention, I guess.
