| 332831 | 2005-03-11 22:58:00 | Umm the row of pins by the IDE connections and in between the com port connection on the right of that pic, (the pins on the edge), what was there before?? Is there where the old case plugged into from the front? And the pins sticking out from the edge? Are any of these pins labelled? with letters or something?? like PLED, RESET,SPEAKER,SMI? That looks like the only place, you would/could connect wires from a front of a case to. |

| 332833 | 2005-03-12 00:26:00 | Ah ok i gotcha chief. Yer I would do what was said in the previous post connect the ps, then short 2 of those pins with a screwdriver. When u find the right 2 pins thats the power. And it should boot Then all u haveta do is connect the wires from the front. You'll soon find out which are which for the power LED etc coz it'll light up, once the power is on, and the same goes for the hdd led.. when it accesses the hdd the hdd led will light. I wouldnt worry too much if u think it'll fry or something doing this. It wont. If the case is new, the wires from the case should be labelled with tape or something like hdd_led, power_led, or something. So it shouldnt be too hard to find out what wires from the front of the case go to on the mobo. Once the power wire is connected. |
