I have taken the front off the machine to repair the on/off button. There are three twin cables to the mother board, green/white,red/white, and black/white.Whilst I know where the black/white is connected I am afraid I got the other two mixed up.I also note that there are more pins than sockets which is a little confusing. Can any one help?
The three cables are for power, reset, and an indicator light. They will all be connected within one centimeter of each other on the motherboard. You will see two rows of metal pins about five mm tall. There will be white letters printed on the motherboard. PWR, HD, RESET, SPKR. You want your indicator light connected to the HD pins, the power button to the PWR pins, and the reset button to the RESET pins.
Please post again if you need more help.
There is a model number somewhere on *********** board usually close to where memory chips are. copy that and goto whoever manufactures your motherboards brand on web. you should be able to get a manual for ur board. it will show you where the wires go connected to motherboard.
from the spec of the motherboard it should be one of the pin headers near the Bios battery (looks like a coin on the mobo)
hopefully (if you look close enough) it should be marked pwr
