Quick power supply question.

I recently ran into a problem whereby my server would not power up. I am planning to renovate the server now. I purchased a little power supply tester box. When plugging in the MB connector everything checks out except the -5V LED does not light up. All other connectors test out fine. I went online to see what this could mean and noticed that more expensive, and presumably better testers, do not even report the -5V signal.

 

My question is: what does this even mean, and is this reason to get another PS? If I had a different tester, I might not even know about the -5V "problem".
