Dell gx260 front panel

Front panels do come off on that computer, I have one sitting at my feet right now

Hi there

There is on button on each side of the case that must be pressed in while sliding the case to the front.

You listed GX820 and GX260.

I am assuming you meant the GX260.

There are three varieties of the Gx260.

1) The SFF (Small Form Factor) power supplies can be replaced, but I know of no upgrades for these.

2) For the SDT (Small Desk Top), you can get up to a 270 (best I have seen).

Example of where to get one.

For the Mini Tower, here is an example of a 400W replacement. There may be others for this model.

I have a GX280 Mini Tower and recently upgraded my PSU to one very similar to the one above.

chk to see if u have the right chipset or driver installed for ur video

If it is a slim gx260 case, it might not. If it is the wide case, it will, but the two motherboards have different power supplies. You will need to use a gx280 power supply to power it on. However, you can use a gx270 motherboard in a gx260 case without changing the power supply.


Hope this helps!

the front panel header configuration of that particular motherboard.
6-8 (red) is your power sw
2-4 (green) is your power LED
1-3 (yellow) is your HDD LED
5-7 (purple) is your reset sw
black is not connected

The motherboard should go into a custom case no problem.

Hi,
This should be the front panel header configuration of that particular motherboard.

1st remove all PCI cards, see if anything changes.  If no change\:
If the power LED is solid AMBER, replace the motherboard
If Flashing AMber, replace the power supply

Possible failures are:

1. Powersupply failure
2. Motherboard failure (Check the capacitors for popped ones)
3. Front I/O Panel
   

It would be easier to order the cable and front panel board assy as one. easy on ebay.
I have worked on them for years and never bothered to trace them out. and dell doesn't post the pinout anywhere.
If you can't find one I can get it for you cheap.
