How can you identify the mak and model of a motherboard? I have an older computer that was given to me and I need an instruction manuel to identify the spots for The front USB/Headphone and of course the LEDs and Power buttons. Thanks and please only helpful posts.:)
 
I don't know what chip set it is, and everything I found says it's an asus board, but all the manuals I pulled had completely different layouts. I'll get some pics up soon.
 
Ok but the computer is completely disassembled and I can not get it on until I know where to plug the power button in.
 
look for a rack of unconnected jumper - most probably in the lower right corner of the board. There will be two rows of about 6-7 pins in each row, like this
:::::::
there is often markings on the pcb next to the corresponding pins. For example to pins should be marked as pwr (power).

Have a look and see what you find
 
I've never delbt too much with mother boards, where do I find the serial. I don't even know who makes the board.
 
Mobos that are not identified by the manufacturer, at least have a code.
For example: CUV-NT...you do some googling for that code, and probably you can find it...
 
Ok, I just had my second daughter, I have been away of a bit, but I was ablr to get the board into some good light and found the pins I needed. Thanx evry1 4 the help.
