I'd like you to look at this motherboard, and compare it to yours.
It's an Intel Seabreeze T3 motherboard. My data states it was used in many computers, and the eMachines T3830 being one of them.

On this page left-click 0n - Product Views, in the list.
On this page left-click on Q-Front Panel Header.
You have three twisted pairs of wires coming from the Front Panel of the computer.
One pair is for the Power On switch. (PWR, or SW, or SW1)
One pair is for the Harddrive Activity Lamp. (HDD LED)
One pair is for the Power On LED light.
IF, my information is correct, the Front Panel header on your motherboard looks like this,

4 pins going across the top.
5 pins going across the bottom.
Notice although across the top is shows 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, (In Red), there is No pin 10. Just a blank spot.

1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.
Pins across the Top starting from Left going to the Right, are
2, 4, 6, 8.

1) Pins 1 and 3 are for the Harddrive Activity Lamp. (HDD LED)
2) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On light. (PWR LED)

I have been tried to power up this emachine T3958 but no such luck. I accidently pulled the PWR S/W, HDD Led and PWR Led for the hard drive and I dont know how to replace the wires on the motherboard . Can't find a system board diagram online. Does any one know how the connectors fit on the motherboard?
SOURCE: power switch wiring
Locate your battery on the motherboard. It should be near the edge closest to the front of your machine. Look along that edge for a two or three contact header (connector with stiff gold plated wires sticking straight up). Near the header you will see in very small white writing "PWR SW". That's it. If it isn't on that edge, continue looking along the edge closest to the bottom of your machine. It i along that edge on some boards.

what kind of motherboard did you change..?
try to search in the internet.. just type the name of the board and including the diagram.. sample.."ASUS MOTHERBOARD POWER DIAGRAM"...

Hi,
Rather than hunt for a diagram, take a metal conductor and short out the prongs two at a time until you find the two that turn on your PC. It is 100% safe to do this as you CANNOT damage the motherboard by shorting out the wrong prongs.
Best wishes,
