I disassembled a compaq's LED/Power brick (the thing that controls the led's and power switch on the front of the case) and I don't know which wire goes where... I still have the brick, it's still usable, but I tried to guess where the wires went with no luck.

If anyone could match colors with the words scribbled on the mainboard for me, that'd be great. Y'know, yellow = power, red & white = l.e.d., etc...

These are numbers I've found on the board...It's a AMD w/ 1200mhz processor.

Thanks a mill.

Those wires are all low voltage. I would just try them in various positions until the front led lights work and the power switch and reset work. I don't believe you can do any harm trying your buttons with the wires in the wrong position.

I tried that already; I can't seem to get the power button to work... And it sure is a pain in the arse switching them around, it's very crowded in the tiny case... Especially after I had to put an enermax 350w in it (wires are 495082 feet long)(enermax from my old computer).
