Case connector help

I’m using an older case and the case wires are not labeled and I don’t know what they are supposed to go.

What make/model is the case?

Your only solution may be to manually see what each connector is attached to and label them yourself.

Stare at YouTube videos until it hurts? Works for me when fixing cars. Also trial and error.

The model of the computer was a HP Pavillion p7-1254

That is going to be an issue. The pin-out is likely proprietary to an expected HP config that is NOT likely to work with a standard (non-HP) motherboard.

It can be made to work by making your own fabricated connectors and plugging them into that connector. However, you would still need to determine the pin order.

Were the pins marked on the original motherboard?

Well, photos of connectors that "do stuff". I haven't gotten into it in awhile, to be honest I usually maintain 2 laptops. I found it oddly difficult to find a proper service manual for this HP model, like that would have good pictures of what connects to what. So I will stand by my original advice of seeking YouTube's help.

The motherboard that was previously in this was the AAHD2-HY rev 1.03. The connectors seemed to be labeled the same on the motherboard. I plan on using the ga-78lmt-s2

Actually I tried a different search approach, and did get led back to HP's site, where I tried expanding more [+] sections. I found a rudimentary motherboard schematic. It's in the [+] section "Motherboard Layout". Hope it helps, can't imagine I can do anything more. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02966470

That helped my locate the audio connector but not the rest of them

Now I turn on the computer and the light for the case comes on but no fan, or cpu fan come on.
