PC case question
Hi,
Today I got my PC back from a repair/upgrades shop and I got a new case. There is a knob at the front of it, but the guy said he couldn't connect it up to something (my soundcard I think he said) because he didn't have the 'book' for it. What's that knob for exactly? My sound works fine, so is it just another way to turn the volume up and down perhaps? Regards, -- Starkweather |

It would be easiest for you to find your case online and give us a link to it. If you can gain access to the (PCB or pins on the potentiometer from the back) rear components behind this knob, we might be able to assist you in getting it connected. A detailed description of the mechanical (or solder/crimp/whatever) pins used may be necessary. IF it's using pins and sockets then you'll have to look up the pinouts in your motherboard manual and case manual. Did the repair shop mean they didnt' have the book for the case or the motherboard? I presume the case does have an audio output jack on the front? |

Here's a link to the case: http://www.casepower.com.tw/english/...eries-case.htm I was hoping the case link would provide some kind of data on the knob but I didn't see anything... but then I had the flash animations disabled so maybe I just missed it. Anyway, the motherboard or sound pinout should be easier to find online anyway. What board or sound card? Basically we need "all" the information you can possibly dig up... in other words, if I had the two sitting in front of me I could do it, but walking you through it without the info... a bit harder. |
