24Pin ATX connector for corsair CX430 V3

[majid_11_2]

Hey guys,

I was building my first pc and after connecting everything up my system would not boot. This is my first computer build. After some examination I found that one of the wires on the 24-pin ATX connector of the power supply was disconnected. I had this power supply on another system for about 3 weeks and it was working fine, I tried to connect the power supply back on that same system and it doesn't operate now. I have had this power supply for about 4-5 weeks now. I tried fixing it but I couldn't, I also tried pushing the cable in to see if the system boots but it still doesn't. The pin header inside the connector is also broken (I broke it when I tried to get the power supply working). The pin that is broken is pin 13 on the 24-pin connector ( 2 orange wires are required to go into one whole, 3.3V pin ). the power supply works fine, I know this as I used the clip method and it works fine. I cant not return it to my supplier as I voided the warranty when trying to fix it.

Below are photos of the problem:

What are my options here?

How can this be repaired?

do I have to get a new power supply?


Thanks

the easy fix if you have a local tv repair store is ask them to pop the pin out and then re crimp it. if they cant you can soilder the wires into the pin. you can contact the ps vendor they may give you a one time rma if your nice.
