And... limited success.... It boots through the BIOS to system loading.... but encounters a stop code.... more later.. I will say that the "B" needs to changed in this board's BIOS... maybe Complicated Input/Out System would be more appropriate. But then again, I've never really had to configure...

Jumpers are here. With the power connection I have 2 red wires and the J18 plug pin out doesn't indicate any sort of polarity. Based on the Gigabyte install manual, the front header appears to be wired properly I still cant find anything on the 4 pin card reader USB plug... It was in the...

Aeacus, Thanks for your reply. The reset on this rig is accomplished by holding down the power button for approximately 5 seconds. If you hold the power button down for approx 6-7 seconds, it turns off. The only other way of turning it off is via the windows-based power controls, or pulling the...

Aecus, The youtube video is of the Joshua MOBO... Mine was (FOXCONN) H-RS880 u-ATX 880 1.02 (Aloe) board. It is also marked "Infineon-B " part number 612498-001. On the board, the 'mystery' connector is labeled "J-18". They were hit and miss all over the place... She wanted to hook back up the...

OK, I looked at the switch. There are 6 wires. The white and yellow appear to power the disc drive orange LED - showing hard drive I/O activity with a rapidly flashing orange LED. Then there are the blue and green wires which are hooked to the Blue LED power indicator and may/may not be part of...

Aeacus, It isn't the Gigabyte manual which I need, I need to know which of the wires is which, coming out HP On/Off switch module. None of them are black and two of them are red... that's a problem. The CD/DVD unit was blocking all view of the switch wiring. So. I pulled it out after pulling...

So here is where the seller says that plug goes https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/2PQAAOSwAfljDJyI/s-l1600.jpg The link takes you to a pic of the MOBO showing the socket which they indicate as being where that plug goes..... Scratch that.... more like where the wires somehow go Guess Im learning...

I received a reply to my inquiry to the seller of the board about the mysterious 9 pin connector. They said "The nine pin plug that you have I believe is the power on, reset ,hard drive and power light cable. without that being plugged in the power supply will not power up...."

*Remember the proprietary 9 pin connector…. * It has something to do with this. I threw the old wonky board back in and hooked up all the various cables and plugs. All the fans and the HD and everything else turned on when I hit the power switch. It didn’t boot, but that is no surprise. the...

Sorry I was away working. thanks for the images for the 8 and 24 pin connectors. By the time I saw the post, I had already hooked them together and plugged them into the MOBO So here’s the summary of what has transpired I pulled the heat sink off the old processor that came with the board...

Now some stupid pet trick questions. 1) The old board only used 20 of the 24 pin plug combo. I am using the extra 4 pin connector which mates with the 20 pin connector… thereby occupying all 24 pins. Any issues? 2) the new board has an 8 pin connector where the old board only had a 4 pin...

I believe both of these UN-plugged-in cables are related to the card(s) reader… and, who knows, maybe the little blue light that comes on when the power switch is in the on position.

And, as I said, the five pin white connector which was formerly plugged into a USB socket on the old MOBO, would fit the ‘CD_IN socket if I trimmed off the blank pin on the existing plug … or if I just used 1/2 of a 9 pin USB socket

Imgur is an app… downloaded it this pm to my iPhone and immediately disappointed. If you look at the upload media tab on this discussion platform, it lists Facebook as a legit source to upload photos. Photos are ‘media’ aren’t they? If you pm me with an email addy, I’ll send the images...

The black 9 pin plug is just like a USB plug…. EXCEPT… the blank pin is swapped top for bottom. So it won’t fit a USB board plug
