I see a button and an LED and 6 wires Is this correct ?
Is there another button for the reset somewhere ?
Is there a separate LED for the hard drive ?
The way I see it if you only have the power buttn and the power led you should have only 4 wires
Is there any writing on the wire or the connector at the other end ?
If not you may need a volt/ohm meter to trace out the wires from one end to either the switch or the button
