   It should only
take a second to check for ground, you probably won't even
 have to open the case.  
 Assume I'm dumb.

 How? 
OK, first find a connection that you know is logic ground. Things like 
the ground pins of a parallel port, the ground pin of an RS232 port, the 
ground pin of a known chip inside the machine, etc.

Check for continuity (_very_ low resistance in this case) to either 
connection of the PSU connector. If one side of that connector is 
directly connected to the logic ground line, then it's a _very_ good bet 
it's the -ve side of the power supply.
