Hi all,
I'm replacing the motherboard in a Packard Bell iMedia 5118 which has the Cosmos motherboard as standard (Gigabyte GA8IDMNF).
I'm really confused by the front panel wiring, the wires are paired up as follows:
White (FP But IN) & Black (Ground) - Power button
Blue (HDR Blink Green) & Green (HDR Blink Yellow) -???
Yellow (HD PWR) & Brown (HDA) -???
The case has a power button which was the easy bit to wire up, what I have no idea about is what the other four wires are for and what they match up to on the new motherboard (it has a separate IDE HDD LED connector on the motherboard which is two pins - (+ and -))
Here is a diagram of the two different arrangements:
