Hi cloudius, do you have you're manual for this board? If not download it from this link. (Click on the link).
http://www.asrock.com/manual/K7S8XE.pdf

Go to page 14. System panel connector.
Most people get confused with wire color. If you're case connector wires have white as a common color, than the white is ground. Positive wires can be colored blue, red, and white with a strip. Ground (For a case speaker is usually black). The front panel connector description uses 9-pins. According to you're manual (Looking at page 14.) Pin 1(bottom left of two rows of pins). Is for the hard drive LED. (Up from pin 1 is pin 2). Pin 2 is the power + for the Power LED. So to hook up the Hard drive LED, Place the + wire on to pin 1 & the - ground plugs onto pin 3, (Which is to the right of pin 1). Now you have the basic pattern. Next connector. Power LED uses pin 2 + Positive & pin 4 - negative. PWRBTN#, known as power button. + positive connects to pin 6 & - negative connects to pin 8. Lastly is the RESET# switch. Connect + to pin 7 & - to pin 9 also shown as
Dummy. That’s it.

Good Luck cloudius!
If I can help you further, feel free to post.
Suggestions & comments welcomed.

Which color is the memory wire im tired of resetting time and audio configurations plz help

basically you have a power wire which should be wired to a switched connection and a memory wire which should be wired to a unswiched connection. look on your fuse box under the dash and connect the power wire first to a switched fuse (one that shuts off the radio when you turn off key) then look for a fuse (with same power wire )that when you turn off the key the radio stays on, this is the fuse that you connect the memory to,or you can connect the memory wire directly to the battery but you must use an inline fuse or you burn up your radio,car etc.

The dryer 'On/Off' switch not working. Dryer does not turn on.

Sounds like the internal parts of the switch are damaged and not allowing the required circuit to be closed. There are many kinds of dryers and switches. If you can pull the switch out and observe the wiring on the back, it may be possible to "jump" the wires. Use extreme caution not to electricute yourself. Basically if it's just a push on to start dryer, all that needs to be done is the two wires in the switch to contact each other for a second. DO NOT TOUCH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS. Hold the insulated wire in each hand and touch together briefly. This should start the dryer. DO NOT LEAVE THE WIRES EXPOSED. Put back onto swith being careful not to touch the metal connectors.

Dryer won't run

No reset switch, you can try unplugging the system for 1 minute then plugging it back in. If I where you I would check the outlet and make sure you are getting the correct volts, 115 or 220. IF you are then you need to open the top behind the knobs and make sure that the fuse is not popped if it is not then you need to replace the control board. Start from the basics and follow the power flow. So basically, wall, into dryer, transformers, fuse, etc.

Cisoc 2950 with odd Problem

I recently had a client switch do this to me. The only way to get it working was to manually put the NIC on my laptop to 10 Mb and Half duplex. After calling Cisco and opening a TAC case, it was deemed faulty hardware.

If you have SmartNet (anyone buying Cisco should always buy SmartNet) on the switch, call TAC and open a case. It's probably faulty hardware.

Good Luck!

My motherboard vt8235 I cant figure witch order they go

i'm guessing your talking about your power LED, HDD LED, reset button etc.? Look closely on the board, there are small hints printed on it. eg... pwr, reset, spkr etc. and on the colored wires, there ought to be printed reset, power etc. just match them and plug them in. you can't do too much damage if they are wrong.

Power Switch

This board I think is an OEM board built by Asus for HP computers. Also named Pegasus.
Go here to find a PDF manual for that particular board -
http://www.ctechinfo.org/manuals/pegasus_manual.pdf
On page 22, the last page, it shows you the pin-out for the connections for the front panel, ie - power button, reset, led's, etc. Hope this helps.
