Yeah, case closed. Thanks analog_programmer and everyone else! We are rocking and rolling with this LED PCB. Should I document it anywhere others can someday find the pinouts?

If I understand correctly, pins 1 and 2 are for segment display PCB power supply, pins 5 and 6 for turbo LED (on the case). Thus pins 3 and 4 are for switching the segment display digits/turbo LED state. Try to wire things according to this diagram: speed_pcb.jpg TB SWITCH from turbo switch to TB- …

Ok, I managed to get the LED and LED panel lit. Basically I connected the turbo switch itself to pins 5 and 6 of the pinout on the LED board. I used the red and blue. As you guys said it really doesn't matter there, it just reverses the on/off of the switch. Then I used the speaker pins on the …

For a fully functional config (how it was meant to work) you need two wires coming from the turbo switch that signal the motherboard plus three wires coming from the turbo switch to signal the display simultaneously. http://www.suntekpc.com/htm-2/power-switch-push-button-momentary-xxx-generic-oem- …

analog_programmer wrote on 2024-03-06, 15:49: I'm sorry, but I can't suggest you exact detailed wiring diagram without knowing what type is the segmented display and its six-pin connector's pinout. Understood completely. Posted this hoping for some/any help in getting it figured out.

In this case, where the turbo LED and the r/w/b wires for the switch both connect to the board where does the turbo LED board come into play? Perhaps the three pins on the back of the turbo switch that don't have anything plugged in? Obviously your combination of wires, segmented display and …

Remove TB-SW jumper and connect there TURBO SW connector. Try white and blue wires and white and red which combination will be for button pressed/depressed "turbo on". Turbo LED on case goes to TB-LED on the mobo. G-LED maybe comes from "Green LED" if this board supports some power saving features, …

For the display, in one of your photos you say that the display turns off when you push the turbo button. What wires did you have connected where? I'm going to double-check tonight but I believe I had the Red-White-Blue connected to from the back of the switch to pins 1-2-3 respectively on the LED …

Help! I have been messing with this all evening and I'm not real sure I've got this figured out but I can get 33 to display when I run a hot and ground wire to pins 5 and 6 on the little LED board. It gets really hot though so I'm not sure if running the wire from a molex power adapter is a good …

Thank you all very much for the information. Looks like I have a lot to dig in to! Looks like I'll be building one somehow so I'll update this thread with progress. Should be fun!

You can find them on ebay sometimes. I purchased a few from there. Alternatively, feel free to modify/build one of these: https://github.com/wiretap-retro/2-digit-Turbo-Display I have a few different variants in my Github repo. ----^ Thank you a million! What search terms do you use for eBay to …

I recently picked up one of those coveted Taiwanese AT clone cases we all had back in the late 80's and early 90's but it's missing the CPU clock LED that usually mounts next to the turbo button. I can't seem to find a part for that so I was looking to build one from some kind of generic two-digit …

Thanks for commenting! I have some old Windows 95 and 98 discs but was going for the original feel with all the pre-loaded PB software. I may end up going that route though. Is one able to tie the chipset model numbers there to a specific master CD? I figure they are keyed to the hardware based on …

I'm reading here that the drive needs to be 'tattooed' before the master CD will work? Interesting... http://pbplanet.info/PassionPB/backup/tattoo.htm

Hello! I've tried several random ISOs from the archive.org but they never mention model numbers for PB machines. Of course none of them work. Anyone have one of these or know where I can source the information? I did manage to get a floppy boot diskette image from archive that boots the machine and …

Hello all, new here. I've been trying to get a Packard Bell 402CD up and going using ISOs from archive.org. Having ....some luck, but not enough to quite get me through. It's still fun though working on this stuff after all these years. Things are just so easy to build and configure these days we …
