I've got experience of general soldering, but very little of electronic principals, so my current project has left me a little stumped.
I'm trying to connect an Xbox 360 PSU to a low-power motherboard via a 120W DC-DC PicoPSU. The PicoPSU requires an input of 12V and ditributes all the necessary voltages to the motheboard. The Xbox PSU connection has 9 pins, which I believe (am currently at work) are as follows:
1-Ground
2-Ground
3-Ground
4-12V
5-12V
6-12V
7-Connecting to ground powers pins 4, 5 and 6
8-5Vsb
9-Ground
I've connected a 12V and Ground connection to the PicoPSU and I have added a 20pin ATX extension lead between the PicoPSU and motherboard and spliced the /PS_ON and 5Vsb leads and connected them with pins 7 and 8 respectively.
At the moment, when I power on the current setup from the mains, the LEDs on the motherboard and PicoPSU light up when when /PS_ON and pin 7 are connected, the Xbox 360 PSU outputs 12V, but when I attempt to power up the motherboard, the CPU fan will spin ever so briefly and the Xbox PSU will enter standby.
Any idea what I can do? I can either keep going down the current route and try and figure out what to do, or I could somehow figure out how to make the Xbox PSU automatically output 12V, so that the PicoPSU can do all the work, but not really sure how to do that.
