Hi, is there anywhere out there that has a comprehensive how-to for wiring your LEDs and power switches, a la soldering and Electrical tape? My friend yanked all of mine out, and I need to fix it :P.
I mainly have 2 questions:
1. There are 3 metal rods sticking out of the back of my power switch button. can I attach the wires to any two of them, and have it work?
2. is heatshrink tubing easy to find? I don't want to special order 6 inches of it...
Thanks!

You should be able to find heatshrink tubing at any major hardware store like ACE, maybe Radio Shack too. Another good place to look would be Hobbie shops for RC cars / planes / trains.
I don't know if splicing the wires together will work, but If you said which case you have. Someone with the same case should be able to tell you where each wire goes.

it's a generic case, i can't find anything on it. There are 6 pins on the back of the reset and power switches, but only 2 wires that attach to 'em. I just wanna know if I can solder them to any 2 of the pins.

The switches might have specific pins that they use. If they were soldered on before there might be some residue left. Or a discoloration on the pin. In the end it might be better to get a new case. NewEgg has some deals on cases under 40.00 with free shipping. Anyone else have any ideas?
