Hi,

I'm trying to rewire an old Motherboard that had all it's wires disconnected. No problem for IDE, floppy disk and power from the powersupply, but the "switch connectors" (front power switch, HDD light, reset, etc) are another story. My motherboard's model number is M754AL-LR-FATX. A quick Google search came up with ABIT as the manufacturer. Went of course on the company's site but could not find manuals or drivers for this board (too old??).

Basically, I just want to order with which to plug in the wires coming from the front of the computer case. I downloaded manuals from two different older ABIT motherboard hopping that the wiring diagrams would be the same... but they are not!

If anyone can help me find the actual manual for this motherboard, I would greatly appreciate it!

BTW, on the MB close to the pin connectors, there are instructions that say which pin numbers go for which connectors (numbers one to 22), but the pins themselves aren't numbered so it's not that much help. There are two rows of 11 pins. When I'm looking at the MB, where is pin #1, pin #2, etc... ?? If someone can help me number the pins, I'd probably do ok.

Thanks.

Usually, if not actually numbered, there is a dot, triangle, arrow, notch, something next to pin 1 on connectors. Once you find that, you should be able to determine the rest. All the odds will be on one side, and the evens on the opposite.

You might also try writing to Abit and tell them of your delima - they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Also, long ago (they may still), Abit made OEM boards for other makers, such as PCChips and Amptron. You might with them using only a partial part number.

Knowing the chipset might help too, if you can see the label.
