I have a red, black, ANd green cord that is connected to the front of my Emachines computer case... Well i went in and cleaned my computer and i accidently knocked the cords out... so now i cant find the right combo to get the computer turned on.. i have been soo fustrated with it...

does anyone know of the places where these cords connect??

Well the first thing to do is identify the cables. I assume when you say "red, black, and green" that you are talking about 3 SETS of cables? As in a PAIR that is red and a PAIR that is green etc?

Sometimes the function of the connectors is printed on the jumper block, like "HDD" is your hard drive light, and "pwr" is the power on etc.

Then with a flashlight, check around the pins towards the lower right of the motherboard, it is usually printed in tiny white ink, what the pins do. Then match up with your connectors.

If none of that pans out, you'll have to give us your model number of the PC, and/or the model of the motherboard itself.

Hey

Thanks... I will try that

so far i can put the red cord and the green cord in and make the lights come on automatically without turning the power on

second i actually only have 3 cords period...

a red black and green

power swr..
Hdd Led
And led pwr or somthing of that category..

assume your looking at an emachines mobo about only 2 or 3 years old..(they didnt change all to much between models)

do i plug the cords in up and down or left and right?

It's hard to guess that. Can't you give the model number of the PC or the motherboard?
Basically all I can do is look up the motherboard manual and see the pinouts. I don't want to waste time looking up random 2 year old emachine mobos.

Just google that motherboard and you'll find it.

Good luck

Ok, thanks.

Here is the link to ECS website for the L7VMM2 motherboard manual.
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Downlo...al&DetailDesc=L7VMM2(V1.0A)&MenuID=35&LanID=9

Download the manual and open it up (it's Adobe PDF), and the info you need is on page 12.

That should do the trick!

Did you get your wiring hooked up okay? I have a similar board (a dead one) but I can help. I also have the board manual to refer to.
