Can't wire up the Parvum systems, Vandal Switch Power LED light

Jay85 · 3 May 2013 at 14:02

Here are 2 images i got from the web:

I have circled them in red to help you better understand my problem..

My power LED looks like this:

and my motherboard front panel header looks something like this circled in red again for the PWER LED:

As you can see a 2 pin will not fit in a 3 pin because one of the wires will not make contact to the front panel header therefore it will not light up. I have wire up the power connectors easily no problem but struggling to find a way to wire up the LED due to the connectios.

Please help 8pack as i know you have the same case and board.

Hi mate for power led I just cut off the end and soldered the wires directly onto the EZ plug that comes with the board.

Is there a more easy and subtle way to do this? I dont have a solder

For some reason I can't see your photos that you posted. Here are a couple of photos of a quick and ghetto fix for the problem we had with the Gene board if you haven't already fixed the problem:

Was a quick fix for us. We are looking into a cable that will fit across the 3 pin length.

Would that not damage the pin?

nah it will be fine man!!!

Haha! Proper winging it! Okay i'll give that a try then and just bend the pins.

Was actually thinking about cutting the plastic plug in half with a dremel lol

used your method for the time being and it's working fine

Thanks!

Hi, Can someone please take a picture of the Parvum Systems Vandal switch back showing the 4 wires connected so I can make sure I do it right.

(power switch) black = Com & red = NO to back vandal switch & blue & yellow to back vandal switch + - (Power LED) ????????????????????

I would imagine its very similar if not the same as dimastech switch wiring, as the majority of switches are just repackaged:

Thank You, just what I need to know

pgi947 · 5 Jun 2013 at 10:09

No problem

Was in the same situation when it came to fitting my dimastech switches

the wires in the obove pictures should have spade type connectors on the other end.
