It wasnt working for me either, then I swapped LED and PWR and connected the Ground to the PWButton ground pin on our mobo, yeah works smile.gif

umm the LED pin (+V) remain on mobo LED ( + ) other LED pin (ground) on panel, same for PWR button

and connect panel ground ( pin 2) on mobo ground

you can see there is no +5V on panel - just ground on pin 2

EDIT - puff error !

mobo pin LED ( V+ ) go to pin 13 on panel

pin 2 on panel go to LED (ground ) on mobo + LED (ground)

this must work now

and PWR + go to panel 14

Thats' because you need to swap led and pwr. That did the job for me.

Thanks np_ and TorqueX86 !!
but it does not work at all... i tried several combinations but if i connect the one pon from mobo to the panel the computer turns on!
is it normal that when i connect one pin to the case the computer turns on? but this is only with one of the two pwrbtn cables!

Nope, it's not normal, and we have the same mobo and same case, so hell, it just has to work hey smile.gif

First of all: Did you split the pwr and led cables as 3 separate single cables?

I'll make u a l33t drawing: this is the connector on the Conroe:

O O O O O
---O O O O

O is ground

O is led

O is PWR

This works for me...

So,
the cables are split! there are 3 cables now!
now i have the manual and the picture says:


O O O O
O O O O O

O GND
O PWRBTN#
O PLED+

So it must be like this in the G5 case:

O O O O O
-- O O O O

Or am I wrong?? blink.gif

O GND -> pin 2 on case panel
O PWRBTN# -> pin 14 on case panel
O PLED+ -> pin 13 on case panel



do this for test

connect only ground from mobo to pin2 on case panel

the PLED+ to pin 13 on case panel

leave PWR button unconnected

then short (once, use paper clip ) PWR button both pins on mobo , PC must start and see if LED is "ON"

if led is ok short again pwr button pins on mobo till PC get off (keep it short till off 3-4 sec )

connect PWRBTN to pin 14 on case panel to test pwr button

and test if work

you can do same but in reverse, first test pwr button then LED and on the end both

don't worry there is nothing to burn or get broken , even if you connect all cables wrong

Anytime mate smile.gif

You know what would be so really cool now? To get a detailed pinout of a Firewire cable

FW plug -----> Pins on the apple front panel board

Would be awesome if someone told me which pin is which ON THE PLUG

I want to use the internal FW Plug of my firewire card...
