Predator G3-710 Motherboard "pin" info

Hello guys
I've been assigned the fabulous task of moving the "guts" from this PC from the stock chassis to a new one for better cooling etc. (ran quite hot here in the summer)
Moving the stuff and connecting most of it was pretty easy, but I need 4 more connectors, specifically the pins for "PWR Switch; PWR Reset; HDD + & -" But I cant find any manual on how to put these in the correct order, and looking in the old chassis for clues on the wires got me no where. Support told me only the repair shops had manuals for stuff like this, ad advised me to turn my eyes on this forum. So here I am. A picture of the motherboard is below with a circle around the pins I need information about.

Hi All,

I know this is old but no one ever provided a solution. I’ve just finished fiddling around with it and got it working so I thought I would reply with the layout.

Working right to left top row:
2 pins HDD LED next 2 pins RESET SW
Working right to left bottom row:
2 pins POWER LED + then - next 2 pins POWER SW

Hopefully this helps the next person googling & looking for answers.

This information is not very accurate! But maybe it will help you find the correct cable:

Thanks for the indo, but already found that and tried to make it work from that picture. But no luck

There is the name ledh2 (power turbo) underneath! It seems to me that there is a name written on the right side of the false pine!

The only thing that's written are some random numbers C0405 etc.

Likely the best way is to trace out the wires connected to the header. They should all go to the front and should be paired up for the various functions. The header is marked as Turbo Button and LED, so likely two of the pairs match that. I wouldn't be surprised if the LED connections are a bit more complex, but the Turbo Button is just going to be a pair.

Take a look at this video in the 3:10 minute! The marking of the cables is very clear! The green and white cable is on top while the blue and white cable is underneath! I think it's that doubt you have!:

May I ask what motherboard it is for the Acer Predator G3-710? or The one in the picture

Have we found the Pin Selection diagram for this motherboard yet??

Not yet! But if you know of another model that uses the same motherboard, I can check this by downloading the service guide!
