Hi everyone! I'm building my third tower, and I accidently ripped out the lead and ground HDD LED wires from the front panel of the case! The case is a Zalman Z11 Neo. I want to solder the wires back in place, but I don't know which wire goes where. They both solder onto the same metal piece, so does it really matter which order I solder them? I took pictures, but I don't see an option to upload them.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

So simple you will smack you head (wo having to use any test tool):

Wire whichever way. Power it up, if it works you are done.

Otherwise power it down, reverse wires, that's it!

You can do this because LED reversed polarity doesn't hurt it, it just won't light up.


There is a more professional way if you own an ohmmeter and know how to use it.
