Ok, I have a functioning PC with everything working -- except the blue Case LEDs don't light up in the front. There's a wire inside that comes out of inside the front door panel that goes into the case. I removed the FDD 3.5" and HDD storage areas to see where this wire came out.

Near the rear 120mm fan of the case, is a 2 pin connector. I assume I have to plug this in somewhere to make my case LEDs function. What I don't understand is last time I used this case for a build, the LEDs worked automatically, and I never had to do anything like what I am doing now.

I have no idea what to do in this situation, and I really need some help pretty badly. I have built three PCs before, but this is the first time I've ever encountered a problem like this. Am I SOL, or is there some hidden pins I am unaware of or a safe place I can plug this 2 pin connector on my motherboard? I doubt I could plug it into my blank AUX fan port. (it wouldn't even go that far).

Pretty please, dire help is necessary. I'll be actively looking for replies, as I need to get this done as soon as possible. Thank you!

EDIT: Here's what the front of my case should be looking like -- http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/tsunami/sna/sna.htm

Of course I have no blue light :(

Not too experienced with this kind of case - normally there is a couple of pins on the motherboard for the LED, what is the make and model of the mobo?

The Motherboard is an Intel D945GNT.

Believe it or not, buried where I tied a whole bunch of wires together (the Case LED wires like Power Switch, HDD LED, etc.) I found a blank two pin wire. This cord went right into a 4 pin connector that was hooked into my power supply.

Just pushed the two together, fired up the PC, and the LEDs lit up effortlessly. Case closed. I sure do appreciate the help though spherrod. :)
