[bjc112]

Sorry for all the post guys, another question... on the board.. i have all the LED's hooked up... except for the POWER LED.. its needs three prongs.. yet there just isnt any room... Reset, HDD..and Power Switch..no room for the power light..

For the hard drive LED you have to pull out one of the little metal thingies in the plasic connector and place it next to the other. Then just plug it into the board.

I took a sharp knife and cut the power led connector in half.

:Q

the wires going into the LED are on oppostie ends...

Naw. Took me a while to figure out that one too.

There's a little tab holding the wire in place. Just take a needle or something and pry that tab up. You should be able to pull out the wire easily then just slide it over to the middle slot. I'm not sure which wire it was... I used the green one i think.

ah... thank you.. ill give it a shot.. 😛

make sure you take the positive end and put it in the middle (i think, double check though) or double check which wire you'll have to be moving -- i moved the wrong one and had to put it back and put the other one in.... argh, just double check

good luck
