sure... which one.. seeing neither are positive :laughing:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_color_is_the_positive_in_a_standard_ac_power_cord?#slide=1


It's red, so that must be positive and black is negative, yeah. Or maybe black, and smoking, is the colour of my hair after attempting this.  
But to be fair he did say a dying power supply. I took that to mean it was a non live POC of the process. But if someone does not understand AC and live v neutral it could end in tears.

RCDs are compulsory in Australia for new houses and any electrical work to a certain value. Melting pwr supplies are one way to make them trip.
