Customer Reviews

Usefull little tool
This is great for the price.

I was quickly able to diagnose whether my powersupply had died on me or if it was yet another system board issue.
I first tried it on a known good power supply just so I could see the results of what happens with a good power supply.
Then hooked it up to the one I felt was dead and yup only got one light to sorta flash a little bit and was able to replace just the part that had gone out and get my system back up and running.

I would Highly recommend this tool to any to help diagnose dead power supplies, at the price its at.

Now if your system turns on and has power supply issues then I would just use a multimeter however when you feel your system board has fried and you need a load to turn the power supply on, this is a great tool for doing just that.

It only tells if your power supply is dead
My PS failed to power up the PC. It turned out that the 12+V line is 10.99V which is below the min spec of 11.4V. A new PS did the trick. However, when I tested the damaged PS with this device, all LEDs show green. This device will be good if the PS is dead; it can tell you that. Otherwise, it will give you a wrong assumption (some previous users made comments on this but I failed to pay attention to. This review is to re-emphasize this fact). A good old multimeter is the way to go.

The Big X
Power Supply Tester 2.0 20/24

This is a great product. This one, easy to use tool can answer most of those questions that come up in the field when something is not getting power. Is it the power supply or the wires or the motherboard connectors? Of course, you can use a VOM, but first you have to do that little hand dance to get the probes on the right plugs or jacks for the first test, and then, do it over again for each connector. Anyone up for testing a 24 pin power supply? This little gadget does them all with one test.

This one stays in my tool box -- and nobody better even think about borrowing it! But, come to think of it, at the price, it's too inexpensive to stress over.
