This is an nvidia reference 780i motherboard. The power led jumpers are two pronged, but the case's power LED jumper seems to need three.

Ideas anyone?

This situation happens frequently. Use a paper clip to force out one of the led wires, and move it over one position to create a space between both wires in the plastic holder. Check the white id markings or the board manual to see which wire to move. It's not a big deal if you can't get it working. You may break part of the plastic holder, but you usually have enough plastic left to hold the wire in place.
