friend got a box shipped to him - and the pentium II, Aopen motherboard has a "loose" cable - (um, by the way - I'm a "newbie" computer geek so bear with me if I use the wrong lingo!)

The skinny cords coming from the powerbutton/powerlight etc are all plugged in except one - the one that says "power sw" on it.

The machine won't turn on at all - it's all "new" stuff so I don't think it's the power supply - and since this "power sw" cord is dangling, I figure I need to plug it in - the only thing is - I don't know where.

There are 10 pins - taken up somewhat by three other cords.

Any ideas where I can get the specs/plug in layout for this small 2-pin cords? (okay - I think I remember these are called jumper cables...

any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Thanks - snowcat
 
hey - found the answer! got into the ACER page and downloaded the manual - to find the Power SW cord needed to be plugged into a different slot entirely - did it and it works like a charm - :) thanks anyway~!
