motherboard setup

[mmcrackerjack]

I need to know how to set up my motherboard. I changed motherboards and then put the old one back in and cant seem to find a place for all the wires. I need a picture or something to show me where to put everything. If someone could help that would be great.

Well, to get a precise wiring diagram for your mainboard, you're going to have to find out the model and make of your mainboard. Perhaps you can call up the store where you bought the computer or mainboard and see if they can verify the model and make of your mainboard...

BTW - On some mainboards there are markings for the wiring on the mainboard itself...

Well I figured out that its a VIA S7-SB. I bought the computer for a company called BlackWolf about 4 years ago. And I didn't keep any of the papers for it so I don't have the manual or anything. Hope someone can help. Thanks

thanks so much for the sites. but it didnt really do the trick. I have all the wires in place and everything its just I'm having trouble with the Power LED and Hard Drive LED and those other little wires. I found where they go but it doesnt say where the powerLED goes or where the hard drive LED goes. I'm pretty sure that I have a Intel motherboard. But I just havn't been able to find any pictures on the exact motherboard so I could put it together. SO if anyone has anymore sites or info that would be great.
