Holy crap-an IRON? LOL!! I contract as a field support tech for Dell and I'd love to get a call to a house where they attacked the machine with an iron. My digital camera would get overtime that week. Those Dell front panel daughterboards ARE a PITA to replace, tho, I hate those calls. The 8400 series is by far the worst, though the new Dimension line suck pretty hard, too. The old Dimension 3000s or so were great, just a little plastic retainer that pops right out. |

For what it's worth, I have a Dell Dimension 4300 and the two wires I needed to tap into on the daughter board ribbon cable were the first two wires next to the end wire that is painted pink. I did not use the pink one, just the two right next to that one. |
