I just bought the Thermaltake Soprano and need help with the LED Connectors. Each is a color and white. When I am hooking these up to my motherboard P5WD2 Premium from Asus I am ASSUMING that the white wire on the LED is NEGATIVE & colored one POSITIVE.

Please correct me if I am wrong or give me a heads up if I am right.

Generally yes, you are correct, however it doesn't have to be that way.

Worst case, the LED just won't light up, then switch the wires around and all will be good.

I had a similar problem with my Thermaltake Armo case and the A5WD2 Premium. I just reversed the wires from what I originally put them is as (label side up) and then everything was fine.

So when you reversed them in were the colored wires to positive & white to negative.

I forget which was which, all I know is that one way they didn't work, and the other they worked fine. I suggest you try reversing them and see what happens.

Hi jfb130, welcome! Wave

You won't damage anything if you get it backwards... If you don't see lights, just reverse the wires.

I guess if when I hit the power button and it doesn't turn on I'll know they are backwards. Thanks for your help!!
