Take a pic of it and post it up. I have 2 power supplies and I use the yellow wire as the positive.

Can't be the orange because there has to be more than one +12 volt wire.

is it an old AT power supply or an ATX power supply, there is a big diffrence between them on how they turn on.
either way with computers yellow = 12v red = 5v black = ground |
