Firstly:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!! My wrists!!

I've just beaten the crap out of my punch-bag a little too much and I think I've impacted some cartalige (sp?).

Secondly:
Why, in God's name, do I have to have the largest piece of fecal matter for a motherboard ever?

From the Installation instructions for my new front-mouted speakers and USB box thingy

If your motherboard has a 10-pin connection, attatch the paired coloured cables to the block as shown:

1 2 3 4 5

If your motherboard has a 8-pin connection, attatch the paired coloured cables as shown below:

1 2 3 4
: : : :

Mine looks like this

And this, kids, is why my next computer will be entirely built by me. And it's also why I won't be buying any more computer parts from car-boot sales.

[phreak]

one the the pins are missing, just treat it as a 10 pin

[an0n]

No. There's not even a mangled hole where the pin used to be. It's flat, smooth plastic. No pin has e'er before touched the shiny hydro-carbons of that part of the block.

your next option would be to mailbomb the manufacturer

Either treat it as a 10-pin, or if that for some reason doesn't work, ignore the exteraneous pin and treat it as an 8-pin. This isn't exactly brain surgery.

I think the pain in his wrists is impairing his judgement.

Go karma, go! Go karma, go!

You're the last person I ever expected to see chanting for Karma.

I've obviously missed something here... so is it working an0n?

[an0n]

Through various burns and electrocutions I have managed to get the speakers and front audio-port thingies working.

The USB ports however, are still screwed.

[kode]

tell me how you fixed your usb ports when you've fixed them, I've got the same problem, and I'm too lazy to do anything about it.
