Hello.
I'm new here and this is my first post.

I've been asking around online about wiring a 3-pin turbo button into my P5I430VX Explorer 2 motherboard with no luck so far.
My turbo button wire got knocked loose after my CD drive fell out of my case and yanked it off along the way.
In addition to the 2-pin LED wire, the button has its usual 3-pin cable with orange, black and white wires.

I have an original Pentium (Pentium S) in a 200mhz configuration. Here is a link to my motherboard's manual:

Any help would be appreciated.

It is a very simple 3 terminal 2 state switch. Was the cable yanked off the button to which it was soldered onto, or was it yanked off from the motherboard onto which it was connected?

It was yanked off the motherboard. The headers on the front panel end are all labelled, but on the mobo they're not.
Also, I just noticed that the Marvin board exists.
Can a mod move this thread over there?
