Are you trying to turn it on the work bench? It uses an ignition/signal wire to turn on (white wire). PM me if you have any other questions.

With my power supply, it needs a constant 12V source to the ignition wire to stay on - otherwise it's configured to shut off. Dunno how yours might work tho.

I have a Voom PC let me see if I can help.

The Red goes to the Battery and the Black is your ground. For my White Ignition wire since I wanted to have the CarPC only on when I wanted it I ran a power wire to a switch and the other side of the switch to the White terminal on the CarPC.

The Red and black wire supply the power and ground, the white supplies the "hey, lets turn the damm computer on" signal.
