There are a few pinouts floating around the internet (and this site?).
I have the same part. I remember using a method a long time ago that cut the PCB and rerouted the connections for the power, reset and LED. Wasn’t very elegant, but got the job done. I bought a replacement panel on eBay a couple years back to figure out a more vanilla approach, but didn’t get around to hooking it up, due to another project.
If I remember correctly, there is a common ground for all three buttons, so you should only need to hook up the positives and one ground pin for the switches. I also remember that there was an issue with that microcontroller that made the LED (or power button) a little iffy. Sorry it’s been a while.
Let me see if i can find my hackintosh notepad. I remember drawing a pinout and making notes at some point after some tests with a multimeter and quick hookups to an older PC.

Same here. I'd love to be able to use the original front buttons.
Looking at the board, it appears that there are four components:
1. The LED (I assume + & -)
2. The LED? (info?)
3. The Power button (again, I assume + & -)
4. The Sleep button? (again, I assume + & -)
5. The Reset button? (again, I assume + & -)
There are 10 wires.

Has anyone tried this?
