[QUOTE="markopolo, post: 386596, member: 11604"] Ah yes, a Multimeter. I have heard of it. That was what someone else advised along the way as well. I suppose that is the best thing. The inverter supplies 2 X CCFL light tubes, but these can be swapped out so it would be possible to just test one. I still have no idea apart from the advice given on Tom's hardware about how to wire it.. "[I]Splice the yellow lead from the wiring assembly to the positive lead of the AC to DC adapter and the black lead from the wiring assembly to the negative/ground lead of the AC to DC adapter.[/I]" But again, I'm such a simpleton, I don't even know which one is which from the PSU. I am assuming that all black corresponds to black, and the one with the stripe down it is the 'other' one. That probably gives you a good chuckle. There was me bragging earlier about my degree, and here I am now admitting that I don't effectively know how to wire a plug! Ha! There is a name for it, that I forget now, to class the pyschological concept of when someone is so well versed in a subject that it is second nature to them, and they assume that others must have a similar level of understanding. You would be wrong. I know nothing. I freely admit to being an 'idiot' so to speak. It's ok, I'm picking up quickly as I go along. It actually took me an hour or two to work out that equation that the bloke gave earlier (the one with 15,000 posts who got banned), but I got there in the end. But anyway, yes, a multimeter. I'll get one. I've a feeling I might be popping back from time to time in this thread to ask a few questions... [/QUOTE]
