Musselman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks AlohaCab for the great cable, what a great time saver and clean solution. I've got the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R rev. 2 motherboard installed in my g5, but am having trouble Identifying just where to plug-in the cable ends. It looks to me like USB end connects to F_USB1/F (USB Header), Firewire end connects to F_1394 (IEEE 1394 Header) and Audio end to F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header). So far I think all's correct? The single pin Power Button and LED connecters have got me lost. The F_Panel (Front Panel Header) is a 17 pin connecter and I'm confused. I read enough posts (in other forums) of damaged motherboards from connecting power button to wrong pin, please help.

blu3_v2 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 AlohaCab, I was able to resurrect my hackintosh using a replacement PSU and everything is now working beautifully using your Front Panel Cable. Congratulations on putting together such a great product. blu3_v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMeanie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Alohacab Got the cable today but no Jumper for firewire which is OK. My question where is the ground for firewire to power ground? Mine isn't marked. Thanks. I found this pic do I just go to pin 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaCab Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't use a jumper, I have a firewire port on my motherboard and everything works fine. But Pin 4 looks to be the FW GND that you would use if you don't have a FW port. Let us know what you find out. AlohaCab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorydaredking Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi, just got my cable, and its a bit odd. If I connect the usb connector (the 5 pin single line one) to the spare usb header in my case, then the power button doesnt work. But if I connect my firewire one then it does work. I assume it may be some kind of grounding problem, but was wondering if there was a way to make both work. Also, I don't have any firewire on my mb. Also, with FW connected to the usb header, it turns on fine, but cant force turn it off with the power button. But if I press it during bootup when just a press rather than a hold makes it turn off, then it works. Very odd. Main thing for me though is the power button works, im just a bit disappointed that its cost me 33 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaCab Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Can somebody please help Rory with your experience grounding the FW cable. I believe you need to do that while keeping your USB cable connected to the mb for everything to work right. I have both ports on my mb and everything works fine. Others have grounded the FW GND and had success. SHIPPING UPDATE MON, FEB 7: These cables were shipped. shortass_jr marekN sub9 Thanks, AlohaCab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlohaCab Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Rory a FW add-on card should work fine. I believe one other member did the same thing. I would want all the ports on the front to work anyway, so adding one wouldn't be bad. AlohaCab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsv2kk Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hey AlohaCab, Any idea when my cable will be shipped? Please remember my shipping address is the one on the comments section of the Paypal receipt, and not the one on the account info. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaCab Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 SHIPPING UPDATE THU, FEB 10: These cables were shipped. rocketjeff Guys, I'm working as fast as I can. I'll try to get to each of your cables asap. Thanks for your patience. *** REMEMBER *** You need to update your Paypal shipping address. I cannot be responsible for shipping to the address given in the paypal shipping address field. I've explained this earlier in the thread but I'll explain it again. But please put your member name in the paypal comments field so I know who paid. 1. Paypal takes no responsibility if I don't follow the rules; which includes shipping it to the listed VERIFIED address. 2. I have a lot of cables to ship out and I don't have time to cross check comments and PM's on insanelymac for every cable order. Having said that, if you put your comments in the paypal comment field, I will have a better chance of seeing it. Thanks, AlohaCab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
