Power supply

Hi all
I need to check my power supply on a Dell dimension 8100. I think I may
fried it. I inadvertently pushed on a power connector to a hard drive while
I had the computer turned on, it arced slightly and went dead. If the
supply is bad I am going to take a chance on a replacement $25.00. If it
good then it may be my motherboard.

I can't remember which two pins(the ones going to the on and off button)
on the connector to jump to activate it. If anyone can help I really would
be thankful. A drawing or web site would be great also. He he he

Thanks John B

3rd and 4th should be shorted.
