I'm hoping to get some advice from someone who knows more about electronics than me.
I bought a simple 50 mm computer fan (12V DC) that used a molex plugin (4 pin). I clipped it off so that I only have the hot lead +12V and the ground going to the fan. Then, I bought a AC to 12V DC adapter. Clipped off whatever connector was on there, stripped wires on each device, twisted together (hot to hot, ground to ground). Plugged it in to the wall and... nothing. The fan does not turn on.
Did I do something wrong? Or do I possibly have a faulty component?
