Hi,

I have Acer Veriton N260G, my problem is that my power supply is not working, stupidly began "tearing" out the cable connections without checking to see how everything was connected. How can I install power supply and the Method of installation ?Can I installed one power supply direct For VGA only ?. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Many power supplies has four screws that keep it from moving around. These are usually four screws in the area of exhaust fan in the rear of the chassis of the CPU. However, some cases of the CPU have some type of stabilizer bar that keeps the power supply down comfortably in the bottom case, combined with between 2-4 screws.

Ideally, you should read the manual or documentation that came with your PC or power supply, and tell you how to install the unit, and if necessary additional bar.

Ensue that the power supply is not at all loose in the case. Moving the case of some and the diet changes that could damage other boards in the case, or even something short, causing a fire or give someone a nasty surprise.

All of the connectors on the power suplly unit (PSU), have the exact place on computer where they are pluging in. The main power plug is 20pin connector in 2 rows, it canot be inserdet in any other way than correct, and for all of the others connectors is the same rule for pluging, they cannot be pluged any other way than correct way. If you checked conectors just visualy you would see that. In previous replies you have described how to phisically install it. This is how you are going to connect it. Just make sure you connect all your disks, optical drives, flopy, some graphic cards also have a power conector (most of them not, but some yes) so make sure twice that you have it all connected othervise that component won't work. Hard drive and optical connectors, on some PSU, because of bad technology could be inserted inproperly so just in case check connector twice, as you don't want to destroy this drive.
