Question about Intel Motherboard

No pwer to my system until I pull the 12Volt 4 pin power connection to the Motherboard

I have an Intel BOXD945GNTL motherboard. There is no power until I pull the 12Volt 4 pin power connection from the Motherboard but I get no video and the DVD drives do not open. Is the Motherboard bad or the CPU chip? What does the 12Volt 4 pin power connector do anyway. Thanks, Rhytheman

As you say,the motherboard or the cpu may be the problem, as you need to connect the 4 pin connector as this is the independent 12v power supply for the cpu and not the ZIF socket like older cpu's. You may be getting power to the board when the cpu is not connected, but when it comes to the cpu taking over because the bios has not been checked, nothing else will run, including drives. If you do not get as far as the bios showing on the screen there is a good chance that the cmos chip is damaged on the board normally either from new or because of the board being stressed from flexing when fitting components to the board which is easily done unless the motherboard is supported by something underneath when attaching parts. If the board is already fitted into the chassis of the pc, remove it and double check that it is not shorting on the chassis of your tower.

How to connect the power led,power sw,hdd led on e-machine t2240

Apologizes your question hasn't received a solution until now. I have been 'away from my desk' for a while.

The eMachines T2240 desktop pc uses an Intel D845GVSR motherboard.
So let's go to Intel Support for more information, and to the specific product download page for the Intel D845GVSR motherboard,

Intel Desktop Board D845GVSR Product Guides


On this page left-click right on the blue title -
Intel Desktop Board D845GVSR Product Guide (PDF)

This is a PDF file. The computer you are using has Adobe Reader on it which uses PDF files.
After you have downloaded the PDF file go to the top left and hover your mouse cursor on the rectangular icon. (To the left of the Up/Down arrows and Page: )

Hovering your mouse cursor over this icon will briefly reveal -
Toggle Sidebar. Click on this icon.
Now click on the icon to the immediate right of it. (Show Document Outline)

Scroll the Show Document Outline sidebar down until you see the heading - Connecting Internal Headers -
Now click on the heading immediately underneath it -
Connecting the- Front Panel Header -

[The front of your computer is the Front Panel. The area of connecting pins on the motherboard for the Front Panel is the Front Panel Header ]

On Page 11 in the Product Guide we see that S designates the Front Panel Header.
On Page 31 in the Product Guide it shows the Front Panel Header pinout. (The Front Panel Header is designated by C in the illustration)
Again on Page 32, it shows where the Front Panel cables connect to.

In case you are not able to view the Product Guide;

Viewing the motherboard installed in the computer case, the Front Panel Header lays parallel to the bottom of the motherboard, at the Bottom Right.

It is rectangular in shape and has 9 pins.
4 pins along the Top, and 5 pins along the Bottom.

The pins are numbered Even along the Top row;
Starting from the Left side of the Front Panel Header going to the right;
Pins 2, 4, 6,and 8. There is NO Pin 10.

The pins are numbered Odd along the Bottom row;
Starting from the Left going to the right;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the Harddrive Activity LED.
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire. Pin 3 for the Ground wire.
In case the HDD LED is dim when the HarDDrive is active, switch the wires around. (Computer off and Anti-Static Precautions used)

B) Pins 5 and 7 are for the Reset switch, IF a Reset switch is used.
Pin 5 is for the Ground wire.

C) Pin 9 is for 5 volt ( + ) power. Not Used.
(Usually the motherboard manufacturer uses this pin to test the motherboard)

D) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED.
-> Believe Pin 2 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If PWR LED is dim when computer is on, switch the wires around.

E) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On switch.

There is No Pin 10.

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

Switch from amd to intel motherboard now have no power

No. Power-supplies are compatible with both Intel and non-Intel motherboards. Look near the Intel CPU for a 4-pin "power" connector -- if there is one, connect the cable from the power-supply into that socket.

When I turn on the power the processor fan does not start but when I disconnect the 12volt four pin power connector the processor fan start but no display in both the state. (865 GVHZboard, 2Ghz pro, 512...

The power supply connector might be not place properly. Check the connector in the motherboard there might be one missing that is not being connected the processor connector located near the processor itself...then check also the connector of the cooler fan...it might not be connected...
If all the things is in place but still the problem is exist. Replace your power supply with new...because there might be a defective component into your power supply which is not enough to supply the entire motherboard...

How to replace D620 power jack? pwer jack is "loose" causing intermittent connection with power supply. the problem is "not" power cord.

The power jack is located on the motherboard. It is soldered to it. You have to remove the screws behind the laptop securing the back cover and disconnect the hard drive and GPU cables remove the keyboard so that you can pull out the motherboard. This is necessary since the solder joints are located under the motherboard and the jack is over it. There are 3 pins that are soldered. Remove the solder on all 3 and pull out the jack. Insert the pins of the new jack in the space vacated by the old pins and use a low diameter solder(2mm or less if available and lead free solder only) to solder the pins to the board and voila!

Power led is connected wrong..need manual for

The power led on most motherboards is two pins. Flip it around. To find the manual, you need the model of the motherboard, not just the chipset ID. Do you have that? If so, you can navigate to the http://Intel.com site and search there for your device motherboard. Then select manual.
