Hello? Tap, tap on the monitor. What are you reading from?

The front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The area of contact pins on the motherboard, that the main wires go to from the Front panel, is the Front panel header.

Motherboard installed in computer, the Front panel header is at the Bottom/Right.
Two rows of 7 pins in a small black rectangular plastic block.

TOP row of pins is numbered EVEN.
BOTTOM row of pins is numbered ODD.

Starting on the LEFT side going towards the Right, TOP row:
Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, (NO 10), 12, and 14. Again, there is NO Pin 10.

Starting on the LEFT side going towards the Right, BOTTOM row;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13.

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED. (Light)
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the HDD LED is dim when the harddrive is active, switch the wires around.

2) Pins 5 and 7 are for a Reset switch, IF a Reset switch is used.

3) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED (Light)
Pin 2 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the PWR LED is dim when the computer is on, switch the wires around.

4) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On switch.

5) The rest of the pins are N/C. Not Connected.

Don't forget to plug the 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable in,

The Video card is intergrated on the board if it has failed you will have to install a new video card there should be some open slots on the motherboard. Tiger direct is a good place to buy but you pick one up a best buy or office depot.

Look at the pinout of the Front Panel header, of the eMachine W3400's motherboard.

The plastic front of the computer is the Front Panel.
The area of pins on the motherboard, that the cables (Wires) from the Front Panel connect to,
is the Front Panel header.

The motherboard for an eMachines W3400 desktop computer is an MSI ms-7145
(Micro Star International)

Orient the motherboard in your view so that we are both looking at it the same way.
Processor to the Top, Ram Memory slots to the Right, white PCI slots (3) to the Bottom.

JFP1 is the Front Panel header.
(Junction Front Panel 1)

JFP1 is on the Bottom Right corner. There are two columns of pins arranged vertically.
(The JFP1 header runs parallel to the Right side of the motherboard)

The Left side column of the JFP1 header is numbered Odd.
Starting at the Top and going Down, the pins are numbered;
1, 3, 5, 7, and 9

The Right side column is numbered Even.
Starting at the Top and going Down, the pins are numbered:
2, 4, 6, and 8.
There is NO Pin 10

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive Activity LED light. (HDD)
If the LED light is dim will operating switch the wires around

B) Pins 5 and 7 are for the Reset switch. (Reset button)
> IF Used

C) Pin 9 is Not used. (NC. No Connection)

D) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED light (If dim switch the wires around)

E) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On switch. (Power On button)

Trace the wires back to the Power On switch. Even if it means temporarily removing part of the Front Panel to see.

Same with the LED lights.
See which wires go to the Power On LED, and HDD Activity LED. (Harddrive Activity LED)

Follow the 3 wires, and tell me where they go to on the Front Panel.
USB port?
Memory Card Reader?
Firewire port? (a1394)

micha219, the eMachines W2925 desktop computer uses an FIC motherboard.

The Model Number of the FIC motherboard is VC37.

Disregard the following if you are aware:
The plastic front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The area on the Motherboard that the cables (Wires) from the Front Panel connect to, is the Front Panel header.

Processor to the Top, Ram Memory slots to the Right, the Front panel header is in the Bottom Right corner.

It is a rectangular shape with two columns of pins.
The length goes up, and down on the motherboard.

The pins on the Right side of the Front Panel header are numbered Odd.
The pins on the Left side of the Front Panel header are numbered Even.

There are 4 pins on the Left side.
There are 5 pins on the Right side.

Starting at the Bottom on the Right side going Up;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

Starting at the Bottom on the Left side going Up;
Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8.

A) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED light.
(If after connecting the LED light is dim, reverse the wires)

B) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On switch. (Power On button)

C) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive Activity LED light.

D) Pins 5 and 7 are for the Reset switch. (Reset button. IF used)

Pin 9 is NC. Not connected

it cannot be done if you want to use the same motherboard

Here is a link for the manual for your au31 motherboard. The diagram explaining the front panel headers is on page 12.

Their should be a 9 pin header at the bottom right corner of the board. Between the sata headers and the corner. There are two rows of pins in the header, one row has 5 and the other 4. The row with 4 pins has the power switch and the power led pins : : : : . They should be color coded red for the switch and green for the power led. From left to right the first pin is for the led (+) lead, the second pin is for the led(-) lead, the third pin and fourth pin are for the power switch. Also there is a 2 pin header above the 9 pin header that is an alternate power led header, the left pin is (+) and the right is (-). I hope this helps you.

The motherboard in your computer is an MSI MS-7145, which is also called RS480M. You can download a copy of the manual here. The front panel connections are on page 2-20.

Looking at the header JFP1, pins 1 through 9 (odd numbers) are the front row, pins 2 through 10 are the back. Pin 10 is the missing pin. The power switch connects to pins 6 and 8. The power LED connects to pins 2 and 4. The HDD LED connects to pins 1 and 3. The reset button, if used, connects to pins 5 and 7.

Normally on the board there is silk printing to state what connection goes where. Also on the black connector i.e. power LED there is a small arrow that goes to pin 1 of the POWER LED pins.

Hope that was any help thanks J

it varys on each machine , but on the mother board their is a group of pins stickin out one or 2 have jumpers leave them alone! go to the pins left bare their is minenute abreviations next to the pins they will giv you an idea of what 2 do ,also look for colour coding.
