Folding/Crunching & Sandybridge advice

Everyone should at least own one! Even if all you do with it is test batteries! ;)

The LED and Switch parts should be seperate tbh.
 
From th epiccie above:

It should work as I said:

Pins 1 & 2: Disconnected
Pins 3 & 4 - Motherboard Power On Switch
Remaining Pins: Led Power (from motherboard)

I see no reason (technically) that it shouldn't work with led power disconnected - but if you do connect it, make sure the positive (led power from motherboard) goes to the pin between pins 1 & 4 and the negative goes to the pin between pins 2 & 3.

Also for the power switch, try the positive (from motherboard power switch) on pin 4 and negative on pin 3.
 
If the above fails - try a jumper acorss the Motherboard Power Switch Pins to make sure it's working (the motherboard that is).

Yeah I often just use a flat headed screw driver to short the pins when the board doesn't have a onboard power switch.
 
Have found myself a jumper will give that and the screwdriver a work out after tea, you just know it's going to be a long night :eek::D
\will let you know how i get on.

All sorted chaps, thank you one and all for your input. Allthough i am fairly dim when it comes to switches i did try evrything and the only conclusion is that both are not working so its a phillips flathead powered sandybrisge for me!
