The LED's on ELBOX tower!??!

BarrySWE · 20 September 2005, 22:42

Yes i brought one on "tradera" swedish Ebay =)
and the POWER LED and hd on the front does'nt work..
i have one "GREEN" cabel that's lose, and som other with 2 connectors... maybe it will solve the problem?

*SOLVED*

I made my OWN solution ;-)

look at this picture...

Looks like the adapter is missing from the cable ends, the adapter that fits on on the floppy hd led pins on the mobo.

Okey....

I wanna solve this problem ;-)

I posted some more pictures.....

on the "LED" konverter or what it is. you can see two pins, what are they for?

anyone has a solution!??! ;-)

BarrySWE · 21 September 2005, 11:04

I opened my "original amiga"
and the green cable seems to go to this pin??

BarrySWE · 21 September 2005, 11:21

i connected the green cable, but no led is lighting up, but the computer works.... strange... but how about those to pins on the led konverter.. maybe the 2 pin kontakt should be placed there???

BarrySWE · 21 September 2005, 11:45

i used the led from my regular amiga, and they work , so the contacts on the motherboard works... maybe it the 2pin that is missing, but im afraid if it wrong to put them on the two pins.. i will fry the computer.

AMIGAZ · 21 September 2005, 12:29

Have to look on my led contact when I get home from work

BarrySWE · 21 September 2005, 12:46

two better pictures ;-)

you can se that the "cable" goes next to the two pins on the led converter.... and the green cable must be in the right place now?

but no LED

yeah , it would be great if you can do so..

BippyM · 21 September 2005, 13:20

the LED might be fried!

BarrySWE · 21 September 2005, 13:28

Removed, because it's solved =)

BippyM · 21 September 2005, 13:34

well how I see it you either

a. Wait for someone with an elbox tower to open up and have a look (Amigaz will do that later today)
b. Risk attaching the wires and maybe kill the mobo

c. Put the led out of your regular Amiga in there

d. Live without the LED

on a side-note the green wire isn't damaged is it?

I can't se any damage on the cable....

I will wait ;-)

BippyM · 21 September 2005, 13:43

the damage might be inside (the wire could be broken) the green sheeth!

You might need to test this wire

I will test that.. but first i will wait and see if AmigaZ has a solution ;-)

but if it's not used at all. can i remove it from the case ;-) the only funktion this thing has is the LED's why have an adapter??? why can't it be connected directly to the LED??? seems strange i think?

one more question..

can u use rounder ide cables, i have a few from my pc , in the amiga tower?

and the cdrom , can i change it to any peze dvdrom cdrom??? or is it Amiga specific drives to use?

BarrySWE · 21 September 2005, 20:04

Hello,

Sorry but from your pictures I see that this is not tower produced
by Elbox.
You need to contact its producer.
We do not know how it was solved in this tower.

BTW. The original Elbox (E/BOX, Power Tower or Winner Tower, Mirage,
D-BOX) cases have always the serial number on the bottom of the case.
See here: http://amiga-hardware.com/download_p...ower_9_big.jpg

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.

Thank you for using Elbox's online support services.

On mine it looks like they have solder the cables on the other side instead of use the adpater on top? let's take of the mess and see whats underneath......
