But if I connect it it doesn't work... umm the LED pin (+V) remain on mobo LED ( + ) other LED pin (ground) on panel, same for PWR button and connect panel ground ( pin 2) on mobo ground you can see there is no +5V on panel - just ground on pin 2 EDIT - puff error ! mobo pin LED ( V+ ) go to pin 13 on panel pin 2 on panel go to LED (ground ) on mobo + LED (ground) this must work now and PWR + go to panel 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueX86 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thanks np_! my pic is based on this but it just does not work... i really don't know why Pin 13 is LED, PIN 14 BTN and Pin 2 is Ground. But if I connect it it doesn't work... Thats' because you need to swap led and pwr. That did the job for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Neo Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thanks np_ and TorqueX86 !! but it does not work at all... i tried several combinations but if i connect the one pon from mobo to the panel the computer turns on! is it normal that when i connect one pin to the case the computer turns on? but this is only with one of the two pwrbtn cables!

TorqueX86 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Nope, it's not normal, and we have the same mobo and same case, so hell, it just has to work hey First of all: Did you split the pwr and led cables as 3 separate single cables? I'll make u a l33t drawing: this is the connector on the Conroe: O O O O O ---O O O O O is ground O is led O is PWR This works for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Neo Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 So, the cables are split! there are 3 cables now! now i have the manual and the picture says: O O O O O O O O O O GND O PWRBTN# O PLED+ So it must be like this in the G5 case: O O O O O -- O O O O Or am I wrong??

np_ Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 O GND -> pin 2 on case panel O PWRBTN# -> pin 14 on case panel O PLED+ -> pin 13 on case panel do this for test connect only ground from mobo to pin2 on case panel the PLED+ to pin 13 on case panel leave PWR button unconnected then short (once, use paper clip ) PWR button both pins on mobo , PC must start and see if LED is "ON" if led is ok short again pwr button pins on mobo till PC get off (keep it short till off 3-4 sec ) connect PWRBTN to pin 14 on case panel to test pwr button and test if work you can do same but in reverse, first test pwr button then LED and on the end both don't worry there is nothing to burn or get broken , even if you connect all cables wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeRaoul Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 -Neo's method worked fine for me on a board with no built-in firewire, except that I had to connect my "FW Ground" on the front panel to my LED ground on the motherboard to get my LED to light up on the G5 case front. The power button worked both ways, either connected to the Power Button ground or the LED ground, but the light only came on when LED ground was used. This is on a GA-EP43-UD3L mobo. /offtopic Found a dude selling G5 front panel cables for 8 bucks on eBay! http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Power-Mac-G5-Fro...#ht_1897wt_1141 Having one of these should make it real easy to wire up all the connections, since it gives you wires directly out from the front panel with no modding necessary, except for splicing the wires from the cable to your mobo headers' wires.

rjosxasus Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm looking to find a Power Mac G5 (late 2004, A1093) Service manual. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone help? Ouch's link doesn't work anymore. thanks very much. I'm trying to hook up the front panel Power button, USB, and headphone jack. I don't know what pin numbers are which on the pinout. If the case is upright, and I'm looking at the socket vertically, the top left pin is what? top right? bottom left, bottom right? Thanks so much.
