Step 6Positioning Wires
For the CCFL in the DVD drive gap, its wire will go downward, and along the forward edge to plug into the inverter. You can pour hot glue on the motherboard without issue, as hot glue does not conduct electricity - we will use it to keep the wires from moving around.
Beware of Screws!
When placing the wires throughout the case, make sure they stay away from screw holes. When putting the case back together, if a screw cuts through a wire (which it can do easily) it will act as a ground and prevents electricity from flowing through the tube. The CCFL will either flicker or not turn on, and if the wire is severed you may need to solder it back together.
