Mother board and wireing

[paul62]

I just installe d a new mother board in my t1220, and I neglected to mark the wire s as I was removing them, now I have three wire I do not know what to o with and they are coming form the front of the case. ther eare two woire in each cable one if blue and white wires, the other is black and white wires and the other is red and white wires. the mother board is a trigem lomita, I would really appreciat the help or locating the manual . When I said there are three wires I meant six in total, three cables.

The wiring schemes of the case to motherboard wires vary by manufacturer. But usually the black and white wire is the reset wire, the blue and white is the power button, and oarnge and white is the hard disk led, with the colored wire as positive. But get an ohm-meter and test this out before trying it, as you might damage the motherboard if connected wrong.

ok I need just a little more help. The black and white says poweron it, the red and white says hdd led, and the green and white says power led. Now I believe that seven pin connector at the bottom of the circuit board with the case standing up and closest to the front of the case is where these conectors go but which pins and in what order.

The instructions for that are in the motherboard manual... what motherboard was it?

[paul62]

I"m sorry it is the trigem lomita without without the onboard lan, I have been having a difficult time finding that manual.

ok, here is the motherboard If it isn't the one you have let me know. here is an article that will help and you probably want info about the sound so there is this

If you look closely at the header you identified at the bottom right of the mobo, there should be markings of some sort...?

[paul62]

the only markings I see so far are reset and lock pwr hdc,and doc,what i really need is a picture of it installed in a emachine case, that would be nice

[NooNoo]

It would... but there isn't one that I can find....You will have to work it out and then take a pic - I will get it hosted... fortunately there aren't too many of those boards left in operation nowadays.

Reset is your reset switch if you have one,

HDC is likely to be hard drive activity.

Take a pic and get it hosted, I can't find a high res pic to help you with identifying the headers
