    case LEDs

    I've got two blue leds on the front of my case that are connected up but don't seem to function since mos put his sausage fingers into action and built it....

    heres where the leads connect.. two black and reds are the led leads, the other four from PSU to second hard drive.. can anyone think of anything obvious that might stop them working?

    Don't think they are your HDD leds.

    All your leads to light up LED's should come from the front of your case (connected to the lights at the front of your case)

    They then connect to your motherboard (normally nearing to the front of your case)

    the HDD leds, reset, power switch connections are seperate and run to the motherboard... they work fine...


    these are two seperate led lights, albeit cosmetic, that run from the front of the case to here, where they are connected to the second hard disk power supply...

    like so...

    i built it!

    they're glowy blue leds just for pretty-ness - they have a "in line" style standard power connector that fits the CDROMS/HHDs - if that makes it clearer..



    waited till Liverpool eh for extra technical support? :evil:
