Accidentally disconnected the power switch, power led and he'd led cables and don't remember where they go.I know where they need to be connected but not which specific place. Need a visual on where they connect.

A quick google determined your emachines model w2040 is equipped with FIC motherboard AM37. Download the manual from
http://www.fic.com.tw/support/motherboard/motherboard.aspx?model_id=107
You'll find the pinout info for your wiring on page 13.
Most motherboards also have the pinouts silkscreened onto the board itself.

The header connections that you are looking for are on the edge of the motherboard near the battery. Look for a group of gold contacts sticking straight up at you. The silkscreen tells you which header are for what light or switch. You will see one that says "PWR LED". Another says "PWR SW" Another says "HDD LED". They are printed very small. You will see others in that vicinity that say "SAST1" and "SPKR". Ignore them.Look along the edge where the battery is mounted some are located around the nearby corner but still along the edge. All should be on the edge nearst the front of your machine. Others may be along the edge facing the bottom of your machine.

Here's the Support Link for your desktop. Look under User Guides, Hardware Reference. Also look on the motherboard for markings such as PW or PS and an indicator to where the wire goes.

Try this link to Emachines page. After you put in the make and model and stuff you should be able to view the user manual for your machine. If this isn't what you need you are able to contact support from this page and maybe they can direct you to a more detailed explanation that may help more.
eMachines use specially-made
boards for them so there is no manual as such as the boards aren't made
to be distributed. Basically they would all use the same sort of
connectors and blocks (and cases) to an extent that anybody can plug a
connector into the right place and it will work.
The easy way to
get round this is to find the power button first - try each two pin
connector first, press the button and see if it comes on. If not, move
along on the block until you find the right one. Then it's just a case
of trial-and-error on the other ones to find reset, power LED and HDD
led.
