Hello, I'm seeking assistance with my setup. I have a Legion T5 281MB05, MTM: 90NC00JAUS, and a Lenovo 3717 motherboard. The internal ambient LED only has one color setting, but I need to change it. The stock LED control board has two open ARGB 5v spots and two RGB 12v spots. My confusion is whether the LED control board connects via a 9-pin header or a 1394 header, as both motherboards list LEDCB1. I don’t see any clear indication online, and I’m worried about buying a new controller or strip that might damage the board. Any advice would be very helpful.

These 9 pins on LEDCB1 relate to USB or 1394 connectivity.

1394 refers to firewire, but this format hasn't been used recently. As a Lenovo device, it's probably an internal connector derived from a standard 9-pin design.
