Power Supply Replacement Issue

[johnnydiaz]

I have a DJ mixer main who's main psu died. I order a new one but its not the exact same. The old power supply has 2 leads going to the power plug which is mounted to the chassis and a connection for the on/off switch. The new power supply had the actual 3 prong socket for the the plug and doesn't have the connection for the on/off switch. I desoldered the 2 leads from the old psu and soldered it to the new psu. The mixer now powers up but has no on/off switch connection. My question is can I just attach the 2 lead on/off switch to the live lead on the psu? If so, will there be any noise introduced?

Can we see the pictures? You just feed one terminal of the power switch with the wire for the LINE (HOT), the other terminal of the power switch will be connected to the LINE (HOT) in of the power supply. It will not cause any noise problem if the switch's contacts are good and not arcing.

I have the power supply in the garage I'll post pictures tomorrow. I will disconnect the hot lead from the 3 prong plug and cut it in half and connect one end of switch to psu and the other end to 3 prong plug?
