So, the wires that go to the LEDs of my Amiga 600 got de-soldered and I need to know which wire goes where.
The connections are marked on the LED board itself, but they're not on the plug side.

I guess that black is ground, and I'm (almost) positive that the green wire is the HDD (bottom one, LED3), but what about the other two?

P.S. disregard the blue wire, that's part of my DIY extension. The original colors are: black, red, orange and green,

Based on these pictures I found on e-bay, my hypothesis is:

black = ground
red = power
orange = floppy
green = hard disk

What do you think?

EDIT: By looking at the second picture, I'm noticing that the connections are spelled out, so I have little to no doubt now.

Hi, I've just checked a spare led I have and it looks exactly that the one in the picture you've posted:

FD: Orange
PW: Led
HD: Green
GND: Black

Hope this helps, ciao!

Yes, they're like that, grazie.
In fact, I already soldered and tested the board:

I wonder if there is a way to test the HDD LED without having an HDD installed on the Amiga. 🤔
