    Hi, I have a little problem here, the case front panel wire for the Power LED is a 3 pin connector yet on my Motherboard I only have 2 pins available for it.
    Anyone know if there are adapters or something available for it.
    Any advice appreciated.

    It is Fixed.

    I have never seen adapters for this purpose. When confronted with this situation I have taken a utility knife and carefully separated a three connector plug, then used the two connectors that would allow the Power LED to work. If you have any old cases with the correct plugs you could splice them in place of the three connector.

    Thanks Whiskeyman, I found the correct pins the diagram was not not showing the pins exactly the same as on the Motherboard.
    But I will make a note of that might come in handy some other time.
