need help building IH

[vandalizedbythelotus]

hey i'm trying to build an induction heater for vapcaps but it's not working and i don't know why.
please help

got the ZVS driver and a FET switch.
salvaged an ATX power source and a computer case power switch button.
shorted a pin on the ATX (always on) and isolated the 12v rail (14A max).

after i connect all the things, the ATX fan starts but as soon as i push the button it stops without the leds on the FET and ZVS driver even blinking.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?



tried to build according to this post i feel like i'm missing something obvious ..

thinking i hooked up the button wrong

edit: works fine if i remove the FET switch and hook it up to a manual switch so i guess i either soldered the button wrong or it's not the right type of button

this is the switch button i'm trying to use .. it's from an older atx antec computer case (power+reset btn) click pairs very well with the cap


this type of button should work with the fet switch right?

edit: turns out i had soldered to the wrong (gnd) post on the board instead of the T as was marked in @Pipes post. thank you btw works fine now

kinda liking the spilled guts look but i guess i'd better make some sort of case..
