ABSTRACT:
A device is provided to detect whether a power cable having two four-pin connectors in a computer is malfunctioned or not without using a meter. In one embodiment, the device comprises a pair of positive and negative apertures and a LED. In a coupled state of the detection device and one connector of the power cable, the positive aperture is put on the first positive pin and the negative aperture is put on the first negative pin so as to electrically couple the device to the power cable for causing the LED to emit light if the electrical connection of a 5V power cable portion of the power cable is not broken. In another embodiment, electrical connections of both 5V and 12V power cable portions of the power cable can be detected.
