XPS 420 I/O Pin Assignments (Power/Reset/HDD light/etc)
I have scoured the internet in a futile search for the answer to this question, and I am hoping that I may find it here. All I need are the pin assignments for the I/O connecter on a Dell XPS 420 Desktop Computer motherboard.
Unfortunately my case was slightly damaged, and although the damage is cosmetic I want a new case with more efficient cooling and no damage. I know and do not care that it voids my dell warranty. I have built many computers and I enjoy being my own warranty. However, this one piece of information is holding me back from the fix.
It's a 40 pin proprietary connecter. All I need to know is which 2 pins are the Power Connecter, although knowing the reset, HDD light, etc. would also be helpful.
Thanks!

Just a thought: did you try looking into XPS 420 user manual?
perhaps there is even a separate XPS 420 service manual on Dell website...
I found that Dell's documentation is quite extensive (I had Inspiron 8200 laptop with impressive manual).
