These things are standard even when you don't get what you expect ;-).
Are you sure that that is the HD LED cable? Usually 3 positions is
reserved for the Power/Suspend/Sleep indicator. But anyways, if you
pull hard on the wires you will pull out the wires as the pins latch
into the connector. You should see a window on the side of the
connector and be able to see the pins through them. That is where a
part of the connector will pop into the window and lock the pin. You
need to look close at that window and see what part of the pin is
holding it, press that part back with a pin or pig-sticker (dissection
needle) and pull at the same time. It's a bit awkward because these
types of pins usually have a specific tool for pin removal.

I have a tower with a HD LED cable that has a 3 prong plug. Actually
its two prongs but the middle hole does not have a wire connected to
it. The motherboard has 2 pins for the HD LED wire.
The 3 hole plug obviously does not fit into the two pins on the
motherboard, so this machine has no HD LED which is not the end of the
world but I would like it to work.
I tried pulling the wires out to try and see if I can just pop them
into the middle hole of the 3 hole plug but either its not meant to
pop out, I'm doing something wrong, or I'm afraid to pull too hard and
break the wire.
Has anyone a solution as to how I can get the HD LED wire to connect
to this MB? IS there maybe an adapater Should I be able to move the
wires around?
I thought this stuff was all standard.
