I'm guessing the old button is the one with a yellow LED? The power source is coming from the motherboard, right?
Hey Chilled PC I buy my modding stuff from them too! :buddy:
[QUOTE=Satane;23476682]+ and - go to PLED (brown and yellow) 1 and 2 go to power on (black and white wire) 3 and 4 are for push and hold I think[/QUOTE] Agreed, but make sure you get the polarity correct when soldering the new wires for the LED! :)

From looking at the LED, looks like brown is positive: [img]http://www.instructables.com/image/FPBEG4NFK8FVU92/LED-Polarity-Tester.jpg[/img]
I always thought brown was ground.
[QUOTE=Satane;23492245]Yellow with a green stripe is ground.[/QUOTE] I think it may vary depending on what country your in, in the UK yellow and green is the earth though
fuck it i flip a fucking coin 50/50.
