ok since i found out my usb headers are not working properly i have a few questions. the card reader for sure works with the 9pin to 9pin usb header. my question is how can i wire it to get the 9pin to regular usb connector. i have a 5 pin to usb and the device doesnt get enough power to operate

Each 9-pin USB header is designed to support two USB ports.
The best way to determine which wire goes where is to use the instructions listed in your motherboard's user manual. Conversely, you could search Google for some variant of "wire USB header."

Make sure you have the the correct pins. Is D+ and D- swapped? Power and ground swapped?

Some case front panels have wires swapped, as zb mentioned. it'll take some careful analysis to figure such things out. hopefully, at the very least, all the negative wires have a common color, lol.

ok the wierd thing is the card reader will power up(has led indicator lit) with the 9pin to 9pin device>usb header. but with headers wack it causes device to freeze right...so i want to run that 9 pin to the back of the computer case with the other end as a regular usb plug. does that mean somehow i have to connect two usb plugs? i dont know why the card reader only works with the 9 pin ..but ill try with just the 5 top pins again

frontx.com or performance-pcs.com should have what you need.

They also have 10pin extensions and just about everything else you coupld possible need, they will also custom makes cable to your specific needs if you drop them an E-mail.
Its called a 10pin however only 9 pins are used and the 10th is blocked off to help keep polarity in check.

thats what im looking for except with the female end. but i would be using two usb ports ..i think i might as well just get a external usb reader at this point
