Used to be a Predator G5910 , so I think it's a Micro Atx P67 intel motherboard.

use cpuz to try to get the exact motherboard make and model number

 

[USAFRet]

User manual for the case and motherboard will tell you where everything goes.

 

[kap0ral]

Cant find anything on intel website , just a summary of the parts but no in dept informations , plus my computer is all apart so i cant uae cpuz

 

[mcnumpty23]

On the motherboard, there should be labeling for the specific board.

It's an Acer Predator G5910-E4522U

All the possible spots have a R+3digits numbers but no text

If that can help http://i62.tinypic.com/1z3tf9h.jpg

#8 is the front panel connectors.
Could not find a clear picture or diagram of exact placement, but it should be printed on the motherboard above or below the rows of pins @ #8 in that link.
You may need a magnifying glass or use the zoom on your phone to get a good picture.

Right. Is anything printed on the motherboard?

 

[kap0ral]

Its a predator g5910 and not an aspire m5910 🙁

Acer Inc , other than that only serial numbers on stickers

 

[mcnumpty23]

should have marked down what went where when you disconnected them

theres only so many combinations they can go in

if you start with the power connector if theres 10 pins think theres 22 or so ways to connect it

once you get the power then do reset and theres less ways to connect that

and so forth

Same motherboard ,different case.

 

[kap0ral]

The problem is that the original case came with a 14pins altogheter , and my new case has all seperate one , so I guess I must fit all of them in that 14pin spot

 

[Unolocogringo]

Yes they all go in that one spot.
It should be printed on the motherboard, either above or below those 14 pins.
Most of the time it will be a line with abbreviations above and below the line.
I will see if I can find a good picture to give an example.

 

[kap0ral]

Yah that what i saw in other ones , but look

http://i58.tinypic.com/2lat3b6.jpg

Its only written ledh1.. 🙁

 

[Unolocogringo]

After a bit of searching I came up with this.
http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/attachments/680996d1379016296-welches-motherboard-wurde-verbaut-unbenannt.png?s=18b7f45103c3d7973e2c9ed99d763fe7

And this.

Watch Now take a look at the image with leisure.
called Pin1-2-13-14

The sequence is the following:

Bottom row: 1-3-5-7-9-11-13
Top row: 2-4-6-8-10-12-14

Upper row: Pin 10 does not exist!
So it kannste on the board yes see!


Pin 5-7 is the reset; So bottom bar
Pin 6-8 is Power; So top bar
Pin 2-5 machste times the power light
Pin 1-3 versuchste the HDD light.

Power nimmste the green wire as +
Reset versuchste the red wire as +

And nothing can happen!

 

[Unolocogringo]

If the led lights do not work just flip the connector. they are polarity sensitive.

 

[kap0ral]

Great ill try that and give you feedback ! thanks

 

[kap0ral]

Wasnt working but managed to start it with power on the 5-7 , didnt take the guess for the other ones. Are they important ? I heard the hdd one wouldnt work anyway with my ssd

 

[Unolocogringo]

No the others are optional.
At least you got it to start.
There is not a lot of information available for your motherboard. The above information is all I could find, sorry it was wrong.

 

[kap0ral]

Ill write it as solved because the reset and power were only inverted in your post , do you know what the +p -p does ? I heard the Hdd is like the flickering light of a usb stick .. Plus my power button is already lighted :/ ?

Btw is there a way to change the "best answer" i clicked on the wrong one

 

[Unolocogringo]

The P+ P- refer to polarity of the connectors. The led lights have to be connected with correct polarity or they do not work, the other connectors do not matter as they are momentary contact switches. And the speaker will work either way since it only plays beeps and not music. If you have a piezo motherboard speaker sometimes it matters.
None of these can be harmed if connected wrong, they just do not work.
Glad you got it working.
I can deselect the best answer option if you would like, only mods and people with high enough rankings can do that. Then it will allow you to select another best answer.
But the important thing is it works now.

The above pic and text were translated from a German site. Since I do not understand German one bit I used Google translate. But it got you on the right path.

 

[kap0ral]

Ill gladly mark your answer as solution , it could also lead someone else on the good path !

 

[Unolocogringo]

Ok I will remove your best answer pick.
But you will have to go back in and pick another best answer. That way the thread will be shown as solved.
