Can someone please post photos or explain how to install Corsair 650TX into a Dell Inspiron 518? I installed the Corsair 650TX but the PC does not turn on, only the yellow/orange light turns on inside the case.

is everything hooked up...? the 24 pin motherboard connector, the 4 pin cpu connector, and all the peripherals...?
 
I tested the PSU using the paperclip/green/black output method and the PSU fan turned on, so it works! But when I hook it up to the PC it does not turn on, only the orange light turns on inside of it. I've never installed a PSU before but it looks like only two wires hook up to the motherboard from the PSU? The big 24 (or 20) pin one and then a little 4 pin connector. There is also another cable for the HDD and the DVD drive. Anyone know how to fix this? Is there a third wire that needs to be hooked up to the motherboard?
 
I would think the Dell is compatible with any off the shelf ATX PSU, but you should double check just in case Dell decided to do some proprietary wiring.
