    Hi,
    I have a Compaq 5320US with a bad power supply. Unfortunately
    it uses a proprietary 24 pin ATX connector scenario, and the generic
    power supply I have will not connect properly. The new power supply
    has 24 pins, but in the wrong location.
    I would like to re-wire the connector of my new supply to work with
    the Compaq motherboard. Does anyone have the exact wiring changes
    I would have to make to the connector to have it connect with full
    functionality?
    Thanks!

    I doubt you might find one.

    Are you certain you do not need a 24 to 20 pin adapter (the power supply should have a separate 4 pin adapter for that connects near the CPU)? I needed one when I built my last PC.

    Try asking at the HP forums. Home PCs -Pavilion seems to be the one (I can't see a Presario forum).

    Compaq Power Supply Connection

    Rockster and Mattman,
    I appreciate the info.
    The motherboard pic is indeed the one I have, and the pin-out info.
    is what I need.
    Thanks!
