CASE LED DISPLAY
Ever wanted to know how to change your case LED display? Let’s say you’ve just changed your processor and want the display to reflect the correct speed. Nearly all cases come with LED displays, but seldom do they come with understandable directions on how to change them. These directions will help take away the mystery of changing your LED display.
First of all, imagine your computer case LED display as a 7 segmented drawing. Each segment having a letter associated with it. (See below)
The TURBO light/button will be identified as NON-TURBO = 1, TURBO = 2, and BOTH (or always lit) = 3. In other words, when the turbo button is OFF, only the "1s" and "3s" will be lit, and when the turbo button is ON, only the "2s" and "3s" will be lit.
Now, if you look at the jumpers at the back of the LED display, there will usually be two to three sets of arrays. Each array is made up of two rows of pins, and represents either the 1s position (as in 1,2,3,4,5,etc.), the 10s position (as in 10, 20, 30, etc.), or the 100s position (as in 100, 200, etc.) on the LED display. By changing the jumper settings in each array, the appearance of the LED in that position will change. Take for instance the following array:
Note that the total number of alpha designations (A,B,C, etc.) corresponds to those in the LED. By placing a jumper that bridges the alpha to the number representing the TURBO status, you can determine which segment is lit when the turbo button is on or off. Let’s look at an example.
The darker shaded areas represent JUMPERED segments.
These jumpers correspond to the following LEDs:
Note:
Non-Turbo only are A1, D1, E1.
Turbo only is G2.
Both Turbo and Non-Turbo are B3, C3, F3
If you do this for each array in the 1s, 10s, and 100s position, you’ll be able to set your LED display to anything you like.
My personal favorite is "HI" and "LO". In this way, you’ll never have to change it again. Here is the setup:
