pc power suply (hacking)

i have a "new" computer power suply that has the built in motherboard detection thing. it will not give out any power unless conected to a mother board. I only need to power one hard drive inside my PS2 system. I was wondering if there is some way to "trick" the power suply into thinking there is a mother board so i can get power out from it?

Thanks

 

Lay back and envision "The Twilight Zone" music surrounding your area. You have got to be kidding, right?

 

no....not @ all, i figured out how to hook up a computer hdd to my ps2 system. I just need a power source.
If u dont belive me go to "www.hackaday.com" go to subcategory "playstation" and look for a pic of a ps2 with a lot of wites and a hdd.

anyhow...can u halp with hacking the power suply?

 

i dnt think so but if ure only going to power up a hd just buy a cheap power suply

 

I don't have a PS2 and probably never will, but as I understand it, you plug them in and play the games that you purchase for the PS2. What am I missing here???

 

maybe he has backups of ps2 games on his hd

 

Stuckonit,

Good luck.

 

get a paper clip, and push it into the green wire and any blck wire at the psu's motherboard connection

 

alright

got it
thanks everyone!

 

Wait, how is it cheaper to buy a new power supply than to just buy the PS2 network adaptor that has the power hookup for the HDD? Wouldn't that make more sense?

 

no not realy, i got the power suply 4 free cuz i work @ a computer store!

PS: the i keep the form room open (always)!!!
