    Case LED connectors and motherboard headers

    Does anyone know what the 3 pin connector for the "Fan Fail" LED on a Codegen 4U-500 case would connect to? I'm assuming it's a bi-color LED and thus 3 pins, but I've never seen any motherboard with a connection for it. It looks like a WOL connector, only bigger. It is not the type of connector that goes to a fan header. I'd post a pic, but I can't take the server apart ATM

    Codegen tech support was from China and I couldn't understand what they were trying to tell me. They told me to "connect it to the cpu"

    Also, there is a "system" LED on the case which I connected to the "Status" output on the motherboard I'm using. It only comes on for a second before the POST beep.

    I've been building computers for years, and still some of the case and motherboard connectors confuse me. Makes it even harder when different companies use different names for the same function.

    My case for my main desktop system has several LED's that I don't have a clue what they are for. For example the SP1 and SP2 LED's.

    Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
    by acedogblast
    This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

    There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

    Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
    by glovecaps
    Hello,

    I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

    My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

    The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

    Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
    by Docus
    Hi everyone 😀,

    I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

    To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

    Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
    1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.
