rEaLLy? Let me check my schedule................yep, I can fit you in.

The eMachines W3400 Desktop PC uses an MSI MS-7145. Also known as the MSI RS480M-IL,

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1261749&CatId=1619

Starting with an empty eMachines W3400 computer case;

Anti-Static Precautions:
Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit) the delicate hardware components inside a computer.
Poof! You probably won't see it, or feel it.

(A Processor is the MOST susceptible hardware computer component to Static shock )

Computer ON a table, computer unplugged from power, (Bear with me), computer case open;
TOUCH an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of the open computer case. This action will relieve your body of Static.
SHOULD you leave your computer in the middle of working on it, be SURE to Touch the metal frame again upon your return.

Make sure you are relieved of Static -> BEFORE touching any parts, also. Before you take any of them out of their anti-static bags, or cartons. (In case you buy some new stuff)

The front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The area of contact pins on the motherboard, that the main wires from the Front panel go to, is the Front Panel header.

1) Got the pinout for the Front Panel header? Know what pins those wires go to?
I don't know of a motherboard manual out there, that is readily available. This is because it is a motherboard made by MSI for eMachines. It is not an MSI O.E.M. motherboard.

Going with the Front Panel header pinout for an MSI RS480M, and let's see if it is the same;

Motherboard mounted in computer case;
Processor to the Top, Ram Memory slots to the Right, 3 white long PCI slots to the Bottom:

The Front Panel header is at the Bottom/Right corner. It is actually TWO headers.
JFP1 and JFP2.
(Junction Front Panel 1, Junction Front Panel 2)

8 pins across the Top row, NO pin.
3 pins across the Bottom row, NO pin, 5 pins.

It is labeled with colored areas around the pins.
JFP1 is so many pins, JFP2 is so many pins.

JFP1:
Starting at the RIGHT side going towards the LEFT; TOP row;
NO pin, Pins 8, 6, 4, and 2
Starting at the RIGHT side going towards the LEFT; BOTTOM row;
Pins 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1.

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED light.
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the HDD LED is dim when the Harddrive is active, switch the wires around.

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

C) Pin 9 is N/C. Not Connected. Pin is reserved for the factory.

D) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED light.
Pin 2 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the PWR ON LED is dim when the computer is on, switch the wires around.
This is for a Power On LED that has 2 wires.

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

The next set of pins to the LEFT of Pins 1 and 2 in the JFP1 header, are the pins for the JFP2 header.
Starting at the RIGHT side going towards the LEFT; TOP row;
Pins 8, 6, 4, and 2.
Starting at the RIGHT side going towards the LEFT; BOTTOM row;
NO pin, Pins 5, 3, and 1.

A) Pins 1, 3, and 5, are for a Power ON LED that has dual colors.
Pin 1 is for the Ground wire. ( - )
Pin 3 is for SLED. (Sleep) Pin 5 is for PLED. (Power)
B) NO pin 7
C) Pins 2 through 8 are for a small speaker. The speaker is for BIOS Beep Codes. Pin 2 is the Ground ( - ) wire. Pin 4 is N/C. Pin 6 is N/C. Pin 8 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.

Motherboard:
Install the Processor, and Ram Memory to the motherboard, before installing it in the computer case.
Why?
Because you can see if you have the Heatsink/Fan combo, mounted correctly.
Looking at a 'birds eye' view across the motherboard, see if the finned Heatsink is sitting F-L-A-T on the Processor. If not make adjustments.

The Top of the Processor, and bottom of the finned Heatsink, MUST be clean. If you are reusing, scrape the top of the Processor off, and bottom of the Heatsink, with a suitable PLASTIC scraper. I use an old credit card. (Yeah, send me sum more in the mail guy's! Lol!)

If there is a Thermal Pad, peel it off, fly it at the cat. They are J-U-N-K, and can't be reused anyway.
Then use Q-tips dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol. (Rubbing alcohol.
93 percent is best, 70 percent will do. 50 percent = No in my book. 50 percent Alcohol, AND 50 percent WATER)
May be a gooey mess, and will take a lot of alcohol dipped Q-tips.
C-L-E-A-N!! Clean enough to eat off of.

CAUTION!! Isopropyl Alcohol is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!
Use in a WELL ventilated area with NO sparks or flames present!

Put a small pea-sized drop of Thermal Paste, in the center of the top of the Processor. Set the Heatsink/Fan combo down on top. FLAT.

From here I am going to give you a link to MSI Support, for the motherboard manual for the MSI RS480M/RS482M motherboard.

The front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The area of contact pins on the motherboard, that the main wires from the Front Panel go to, is the Front Panel header.

What you need is a Front Panel header pinout.

Looking at the photo in the link above, the Front Panel header is AT the bottom corner.

Motherboard mounted in the computer case, the header of pins all the way to the Right, and Bottom, is the JLPC1 header.

The JLPC1 header is used for board level debugging by MSI, and is not used by the consumer.
[Two rows of pins. Third one from right missing, Top row ]

The header to the left of JLPC1 is the JFP1 header.
Front Panel Header. {Junction Front Panel 1 }

Two rows of pins.
4 across the Top row, 5 across the Bottom row.
The pins are numbered EVEN across the Top row.
The pins are numbered ODD on the Bottom row.

Starting from the Left side of the motherboard going right;
on the Top row,
Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8. There is NO pin 10.

Starting from the Left side going to the right; on the Bottom row,
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED. (Light)
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the HDD LED is dim when operating, switch the two wires around.

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

C) Pin 9 is N/C. Not Connected.

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

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

hello jknr09

my name is ausi

i can not find your motherboard on gigabyte web site. however the boards nowadays are standard as far as front panel header goes.

on gigabyte mother board you will see the hedae as two rows of pins like this.

....
..... ....

the bottom row first 4 pins are the speaker pins. the next single pin is void the next two are reset switch. the last two are hard disk lead.
the top row first two pins are message lead (usually not used). the next two pins are power switch exactly opposite the reset switch.

the power lead connection on gigabyte boards are a three pin header next to the front panel header.

hopefully this is helpful.
please vote for me

unfortunately you will have to change the pins/connection or mother board then again you could change the usb device.

the manual for your motherboard can be downloaded here:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=3812&type=manual

On page 2-17, the pin-outs for those connectors are specified in detail. They are part of the JFP2 header:
PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
1 HD_LED_P Hard disk LED pull-up
2 FP PWR/SLP MSG LED pull-up
3 HD_LED_N Hard disk active LED
4 FP PWR/SLP MSG LED pull-up
5 RST_SW_N Reset Switch low reference pull-down to GND
6 PWR_SW_P Power Switch high reference pull-up
7 RST_SW_P Reset Switch high reference pull-up
8 PWR_SW_N Power Switch low reference pull-down to GND
9 RSVD_DNU Reserved. Do not use.

Hi pc_ski,
Download the manual for your board, click on this PDF link.
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D845GLLY/ADLY_English.pdf

See page 64 first for the layout of the front panel header. The block you need to refer to is letter C. Here you'll see where pin one is located at.
Go to page 65. Table 32 shows the pin assignments for the front panel header. Pin-1 & pin-2 is for the HDD & pin-7 & pin-8 for reset switch.

Have more questions? Post here.
Good luck pc_ski!
Mike

If you want to download the Manual for your Motherboard, I've included the link below. Otherwise I will provide a rough diagram of the Panel header for connecting your case to the Motherboard.

[2][4][6][8][10]
[1][3][5][7][ 9 ]

HDD Led
+ = 1
- = 3
Power/ PWR LED
+ = 2
- = 4
Power switch
Pins 6 & 8

Reset
Pins 5 & 7

RSVD (Reserved)
pin 9

NC (No Connection)
Pin 10

Hope this helps you

Unless the manual states that there's a pin header for this, then it probably doesn't have it. To keep costs down and design simple, they probably eliminated it; not surprising, considering this is a microATX board, and many ATX PC's don't come with a case speaker at all these days. The good news is you probably wont need the case speaker, other than to troubleshoot odd startup issues. The bad news is you wont have any good way to troubleshoot odd startup issues... unless it uses the on-board sound card. Try hooking up headphones or speakers to it, and see if it outputs anything during startup. (It may only do so if POST fails, and only if it fails far enough into POST.) Not really anything that can be done, if it doesn't support it.
