Motherboard cables and Headphone plugins problems

[fatbill]

Got a few problems that I would love for your lot to help me solve.

 

 

 

#1 - I have my familys old broken computer in my bedroom. I want to put it back together/apart just to get more familiar with doing it but before I start I want to know where a few of the fidly cables go.

 

The cables im talking about are the ones that are running from the front of the case like the USB ports and also the ones that run the fans, basically any of the cables that plug into the motherboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

#2 - When my computer broke it was because of the motherboard. Is there anyway I can find out the like name of the motherboard so I can buy one and get it up and running again. (Also to see if I can get it cheaper that our computer guy)

 

 

 

#3 - Hopefully the pictures will show what I mean but it would appear that the headphone and mic plugins on the front of the new computer do not work, they work if I plug them into the rear plugins but not the front.

 

Im guessing that this is a hardware issue although im not to sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

You could always look up that computer model on the maker's website. I'm sure there are only a few motherboards that they used with certain computers.

 

 

 

Once you find the motherboard that's in there, look up the manual online. You should be able to find it. There, you'll find out where you should plug in everything. The manual should have a detailed diagram of all ports on the motherboard.
