can't hear POST

[lostjadis]

hey, i built my first computer in april and it's still working fine. i'm using this case...but i don't think it has the internal speaker needed to hear the POST. i thought it would be helpful to hear it in case anything starts going wrong in my computer. it has the usual panel connectors but nothing for a speaker. did i just get a weird one that's missing its cable? and, is there anything i can do about it?

Welcome to PCGUIDE

I have seen a couple of case that did not have a speaker fitted. I have also had to replace a couple of case speakers because they were to quiet. I just grabbed one from and old case and swapped them over. If you look at the two links below you will see an example of both types (that I know of) one large one small. Check them out and then see if you have either in the case.

nope, i don't have either of those speakers in my case...or anything that looks remotely similar. but it's good to know i can buy one if i need to, thanks for the help!

Glad things turned out OK. Just ask here and you will find the answer. Sometimes the wrong one, (usually from me ) sometimes the correct one.
