has anyone atempted anything like this before ? the reason i ask is i have just bought a hp motherboard from ebay that uses a standard 24 pin atx plug but its about 10% smaller so no standard powersupplys will fit and i cant track down a hp psu to hack the connector off.
so what would be the best way to do this? i have a 20 pin to 24 adapter im going to solder to the motherboard so i can still disconnect the motherboard from the psu.
is it possible to pull the plastic plug from the motherboard and leave the pins intact to solder to or do i have to take it all off? i really dont like the idea of trying to solder and desolder a 24 pin plug from a multi layered pcb
cheers
