I got a problem with the leds from the front panel. I disconnect them to clean the main board and now I don't remember the right order to reconnect it. I just can see the light of the power button and all the fans running but the computer doesn't start. I see the pins but I don't know nothing about the polarity (Positive or Negative)
I got the POWER SW (White and Black) The HDD LED (White and Red) The POWER LED (White and Green)
Please help me!

Hi,
Generaly, the little connectors on the printed side will face the bottom of the case. Also, typically, Black is negative, and white/colour is positive (except on the power sw, it doesn't matter). On the motherboard, where the connectors go, there should be some kind of print saying where to plug them in. (IE, POWER SW, would go into PWR, and HDD LED would go into HDLED and POWER LED would go into PWRLED).
It may look different than this, but generally the same kind of layout, as you can see, it shows the positions, as well as positive and negative.
The fact that the fans are running indicates that your power Sw is connected properly.. Make sure that you didn't accidently pull out/loosen anothe connection to the motherboard/harddrive.
