paperclip test

A way of testing if either your motherboard or a component or your PSU works or not.
1) Bend a paper clip into a straight "U" shape
2) Find the 20/24 pin cable, it is normally the largest plug for the motherboard.
3) Find the green pin and black pin (pins 15 & 16) Green pin is normally 15 and black is 16.
4) Plug the "U"-shaped paperclip into both the 15 and 16 pins, so that it arches between the two.
5) Place the 20/24 pin cable in a place where it cannot be disturbed or shocked.
6) Plug in your PSU and turn it on.
If the fan spins, the PSU works as far as turning on. This is to cancel out the PSU as being bad.
Try the paperclip test before RMA'ing it to make sure it's not your motherboard causing the power issue.

piss test

Typically, these are mandatory tests administered at the behest of law enforcement, a court, an employer, or a medical clinic. The objective of the test, which is conducted by means of urine analysis, is different depending upon who orders it. Tests administered by law enforcement, the court, or an employer are conducted to determine if narcotic or illegal drugs are present in one’s urine. If it is present it will likely result in being charged with a crime or, the revocation of probation or, being fired. The purpose of a medical clinic mandated urine test is to make sure that a particular prescribed drug is present in one’s urine and, if it is not, or if non-prescribed drugs are present, the patient is issued no more narcotic prescriptions and is usually dropped as a patient of that facility. The underlying purpose of this test is to make sure that the patient is not selling his or her medication. If s/he has no presence of the prescribed drug in his or her system then it is assumed that they have unlawfully sold their medicine. Unfortunately, these tests are not one-hundred percent accurate.
I failed my piss test and the pain clinic dropped me as a patient.
