You should learn where on the power connector those two leads are instead

True, the diagram is available so i can check which pin it is.


I learned (at least on a 20 pin ATX), that if you have the connector
facing you with the key to the right, shorting the two pins above the
key will turn the power supply on.

If it's been more than a few months since I last did the trick, I go
to google to doublecheck.
