I transfered all the parts from my old case to the new one. It won't boot. There are a BUNCH of single slot cables comming from the front of the case that I don't know what to do with. They read : power led, hdd led, reset sw, ground, ground 1, ground 2, 2+d, 2-d, 1+vcc, 2+vcc, mic in, mic bias, spkout l, spkout r, return l, return r
I do see the pins on the mobo, I know they go there, but I don't know which cables go where. Is this why my pc won't boot? There are 3 grouped sets of pins on the MOBO, front panel, usb 1, and usb 2. Front panel is color coded, but usb 1 & 2 are not. Something else that confuses me is I have 3 red wires, but only 2 red slots. Same goes for blue, 2 blue wires, only 1 blue slot. How do I figure this out? There is no manual and I have been at this for almost 3 hours. Please help me.
They are the cables from your power button and reset button an HD Red led from your case to your motherboard(aka mobo) So when you press the power button those cables send the info to the mobo telling to start working... so if you miss connect those cables he PC won't start.
Check your mobo manual to know how to connect them. Also many of those cables are to the front USB plug.
EDIT: You can search your mobo manual at your mobo manufacturer site.
