Hi, then do you think I should get another card, I just got the cheapest not knowing you needed a good one.

According to this link...

Pin 6 is the ground you need. Maybe try removing the wire and pin connector from alohacabs cable and routing it to an earth pin on your board.

Cost = $0.00

It sounds good, but which would be an earth on the board.

 

[ersterhernd]

Any ground pin. The front panel header has one. Check your manual to see.

OK, I look at that, cheers.

 

[dirtwegy]

Which one on front panel header is it, thanks.

 

[ersterhernd]

Either of the power switch neg or power LED neg should work.
