RPi + Other Software power supply question

yes it does> the main switch doesn't turn on the power, normally when the PSU is in the board the board (UEFI) gives a signal to the PSU and then only it turns on


you can rewire that easy with 2 pin connectors switched together, mostly on the ATX connector its a green and black wire (GND) right to eachother. Shortcut those and the PSU will power up.

 

Is this the one

Cannot find anything on Amazon delivered any earlier

 

Thanks Jeroen
Thats put the cat amongst the pigeons
Will have to rethink this as I prefer to have the AC cable protected and as a pc psu uses a kettle cable that plugs in sounds a lot safer
The only problem I have now is choosing the wattage as they only give you the wattage of the 12v rail?

 

Doesn't look like a genuine one to me...(never seen a MeanWell with that yellow sticker on it).

This is a good one :

Thank You so much I have a lot to think about now as to the best and safest way to approach this

thats a good one it has 20 amps (100 watts) on a steady 5 volts. We use these kind of PSU in electronic installations
