Today I decided to do the mod to my powersupply where I take off the molex connectors, put split loom over them and then put everything back together (as seen at http://www.virtual-hideout.net/guides/cable_sleeving/index.shtml )
When I plugged everything back in and turned it on, the power worked for about 2 seconds, and then shut off. Finally, after much troubleshooting, I found that I had the 5v and 12v wires switched on some molex connectors. I corrected this and everything is working except the comp wont recognize the harddrive. The 4pin power connector on the back of the harddrive kind of smells burnt. Do you think the mixed 5v and 12v wires killed it?
