PC Power supply question
SirPeale:
Well...yeah. Everything would be likely fine, except audio amps pull a lot of juice. That's likely your "straw that breaks the camel's back" right there.

Oh, I forgot to mention another thing, heh...
After I unplugged my P360 from my power supply connection, the sound card started working again fine so I know all my components are fine except for the P360.
Maybe it's fine but my connections are goofed up... *shrug* What do you think?
SirPeale:
You got the pinout wrong?
The P360 is the fabled straw?
sofakng:
Almost positive I have the pinout correct, but it does seem the P360 crashed the whole system.
I was able to boot it back up with the P360 connected (I double-checked the wiring before hand) and it booted fine, but thats when the soundcard wouldn't show up.
So, I disconnected my amplifier from the power supply and left my P360 connected.
The soundcard showed up but the P360 wouldn't send any keys to the computer. Like I said, I'm praying the P360 isn't fried or anything...
Do I need to connect EVERY button for the P360 to work? I only connected +5V, GND, and "UP". My purpose for this was trying to find which direction on the joystick was up (for mounting purposes).

All this time, you don't bother telling us what the wattage of your power supply is.....
Smoke and a pop is a sign of something burnt. I'm amazed you got anything working again. Though you say the P360 isn't.... I'd bet it's dead now.
