I have a e-machine T6536 and just replaced the mother board now I cannot figure out how the power wires go back on there are three Black & White Green & White Red & white took a photo first but thought this was all one plug so not a good photo to look at help?

Check and replace the damaged component/s at its main board. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

remember the colored wire is +, the + and - should be printed very small on the board near the connectors as well as what they are example (HDLED is hard drive LED) or (PWRLED is power LED) or (PWRSW is power switch) these are examples yours may differ slightly

There should be 2 rows of pins in parallel usually around the bottom edge of the motherboard. The markings for which is which should be next to them on the board. HDled+, HdLed-, PwrSw, PwrLed, or something similar.

If you do find them but the hard drive Led does'nt come on it's because the plug for it needs to be turned around the opposite way, Led's only work one way as they are diodes. Same for the Power Led.

If there are no letters near the pins then you would have to find the motherboard manual.

It's ok just when u plug it back in u have to unplug the big white mother board plug two three seconds then plug back in it will come back on something is wrong with ur power supply might want to replace mother board batterie

Just download manual and check configurations:

To add to red54's comments:

This is what I believe you have:

- one source in the ceiling box (black & white)

- one donwline circuit in ceiling box going to another wall/ceiling box (black&white)

- on switch wire in ceiling box coming from your wall switch (black & white) -- this is the white wire which will be hot when the switch is truned on

Here's how it should be connected:

- all 3 blacks in ceiling box connected together -- no other wires in this bundle

- white wire (which is hot when switched) coming from switch connects to the black/blackwhite fan wires

- connect all reamining white wires together in bundle

- connect all ground wires together

It's that simple. Trick is figuring out, of the three cables in the ceiling box, which is source, which is downline, which is switch.
Maybe red54's procedure can help you figure that out.

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.

Here is the website for that particular mother board. This should give you what you need.

You can download the manual for the motherboard here, just click on the "manual" link:

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/mb/driver.php?S_ID=246

This will list the front panel connections, which are 2 pins. Each of the jumpers, what you are calling clips, will connect two of the pins. Most cases have the jumpers labeled, i.e. power, reset, etc. But if they are not, it is usually: red/white = HDD led; green/white = power led; red/black = speaker; black/green = power switch; and black/white = reset. But your case may use a different wiring spec, but should list somewhere which wire is for which function.

Hi, Maybe we can wing it if you can send an image of the motherboard closeup on the F_PANEL connections and the wires from the front panel itself, or get the specific motherboard model during POST so we can try getting URL of manual. In some instances, the front panel wires are: Green wire, power on green light +, white wire is power on green light -; Red & Black, speaker; Red & white - HDD red activity light indicator where red is HDD + & white is HDD -; Orange & white - Reset Black & White - power on Post back so we can figure things out. Good luck and kind regards.
