front panel connector problems

[tristen42]

My power led connector for my case is all one piece but there is three holes one in the middle for a ground... but my mother board doesnt have room for the ground inbetween.... so i was wondering what i should do to fix it

The middle hole normally is empty; does yours really have 3 wires? A lot of motherboards have an extra 3 pin power LED connector, e.g., this ASRock motherboard has the 3 pin PLED1 connector: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157460.

If yours doesn't have a 3 pin power LED connector and the middle pin is empty, then move one wire from the end to the empty middle pin and if it won't fit, just cut off the unused part of the connector to make it a dual connector. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xufdqCsPdjs

What MB do you have? The last one that I had that had that problem forced me to very carefully cut the connector in half so I could plug them in individually.
