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
