Super Lanboy front USB ports

[canadianpsycho]

2 builds now.

1st mobo was a Neo2 Platinum, 2nd is a Lanparty SLI-DR.

Both instances only the top front USB port works. I have both series of plugs connected to a single header on the motherboard. One connector is all 5 plugs, the other is just 4, the extra ground is not plugged in (because the header only has 9 pins, duh)

Do I need to have all 5 plugs attached? Only 4? Should I use different headers?

Help me please, DEAR GOD WON'T YOU HELP ME?

Thx 😀

You have it right, the female plug with 9 openings should plug into 1 mb header and enable both usb ports. That is an odd problem, maybe try a different usb header and check your bios to make sure the header is enabled. Both front usb's are working fine on my Abit IC7 mb.

My case has 10 indivdual pins though. It isn't the single plug that you get with USB headers supplied by the motherboard manufacturer.

So instead of having one big honkin' plug, I have 5 individual plugs for each port. Just can't figure out if I need to have all 5 plugged in (and therefore need to plug each port into its own header) or if I have too many GND plugs plugged in.

TY for the help though.

Hmmm...my SLB front usb has 2 white wires that merge into one plug that plugs into the mb. Bummer that you have those individual pins, those suck.

There is info here in the users manual on usb: http://www.antec.com/pdf/manuals/SuperLanBoy_uk.pdf

I've been told that sometimes the front ports on the SuperLanBoy are defective or something and Antec is supposed to replace them for free.

You don't have to have both grounds plugged in. One should be fine.
