WooHu Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi, sorry if this has been posted before, but is there a way to just use the power button, and possibly the power led on the G5. I'm talking about the 3 pins that connects to the usb/firewire/sound board. I don't care about front connectivity, but i want to use the power button. Is there anyway to hook it up? Thanks Edit: 2 GHz DP PowerMac G5. The front panel board says 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooHu Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I don't want to go through the front panel board, can I just connect directly to the 3 pin power and led board? Edit: Got the power button to work with instructions from the last picture (the first couple tutorials didn't work (but I don't like it too much. It feels like I'm adding a useless middleman)), but the Power LED doesn't work. When I check the pin outs on the G5 Diagrams forum, It looks like I'm connecting to audio and the usb/fw shelds. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
