No idea ATX Pin adaptor?

[Access Denied]

My mate has a desktop computer. Y'know the type the monitor sits on top of. The PSU appears to have blown and I need to test if the MB has gone as well. However, the block for the PSU is smaller than a regular one and won't fit on the board. Does anyone know the actual name for adaptors that will sort that problem?

Unless it's really really old (12-15 years!) you don't need an adapter. If there's clearance at the end of the block you can still plug it in - it'll only plug in one way (with 4 pins hanging off the edge)
Or vice versa if it's the motherboard's connector that is too long you can still use the shorter PSU cable in it. Again it'll only go in one place.

This is what I mean. The block on the board is too small. it's not a particulary old board either since it's got a couple of SATA ports.

I should add that it's a Compaq DC7100. Bloody irritating. All I want to do is test the board to see if I'm just replacing the PSU or building him a new computer.

Looks like it might just fit - doesnt matter if 4 pins are hanging over the edge. Can't tell from that perspective if that battery is in the way :/

Otherwise it's this adapter:

Doesn't fit at all. Not the best photo I admit but the block on the board is just too small. And by that I mean the holes are too small.

Isn't that exactly the opposite of what he'd need ?

Athan : I've just counted the pins - Access Denied takes a shit picture (crap perspective!)
Got some of the "correct" adapters here - I don't know what fucking muppet bought them, entirely pointless.

Access Denied - they're not too small - I know that machine intimately. You definitely do not need any form of adapter. It *will* just fight. Make sure it's the right way around
