Had to get someone to reconnect a 2 wire connector which ran from some front case gauges - over the phone.

Fun, fun.

Goes along the lines of:
You see the front panel wires down below in front of the HDD bays.
No.
Repeat as above.
Several times.


Then you see 3 others, extra HDD LED connector, 2 wire yellow/black and 3 wire yellow/black/red.
Yes.
The yellow/black goes up the side towards DVD drive and plugs into power 2 wire connector there.
Uh.

Repeat.

Uh, no.
Repeat and so on.

Until, oh yeah, there it is.
