Just finished a Ryzen build using the Apevia Destiny Mid-Tower Case: https://www.apevia.com/products-cases/destiny-flow-bk There is a problem with the Front Panel connectors, which I have never seen before. Here are the Front Panel Connectors coming from the case: HDD LED Power LED (One Positive, One Negative) LED SW There is no Reset cable (which is fine, because there is no Reset Button on the Front Panel). Main Problem: There is no Power Switch cable for the Front Panel. PC Behavior: I plugged in the HDD LED and POWER LED cables in their normal positions, and left the LED SW cable disconnected. When pressing the Power Button on the Front Panel, nothing happens. I used a screwdriver to jump the Power Switch pins on the motherboard, and the system turns on normally. When the system is powered-on, the Power Button on the Apevia Destiny actually changes the color of the Fan Lights. Very strange, and I have never seen this before. I just want to be able to plug everything in, and run the system normally. My plan: I was going to plug-in the Power LED cables into the POWER SWITCH pins on the motherboard, and then plug-in the LED SW cable (from the case) into the POWER LED pins on the motherboard. Are there any obvious mistakes here? Would this damage the motherboard (if so, why)? -
Hello wise tech wizards. I need some help by people way smarter than me. So I have an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX which seemed to not start up. I tried to short the power switch pins and eventually it turned on. So I just bought another power supply to use this board in the future. Now I can't get it to start at all by shorting pins. After inspecting it looks like there is a scratch right above the pins. (pic is hard to see, but that is not a hair or something) I tried pressing the flash bios button which doesn't start up the system, but flashes an LED which tells me that the mainboard is getting power it just needs the signal to start up. Are there any other ways to start the machine up? Any other pins or jumpers I can highjack? I know some PCs start up as soon as they have power. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if there's a 3d print file somewhere of a bracket to surface-mount a typical atx power button? Or if something like this already exists for purchase? Horrible paint mock-up included below!

Hey Does anybody know a power button module which fits in a 5.25" drive bay ? Thank You!

I built a pc two days ago and as soon as I plug the computer to the AC outlet, the PC powers on my guess is that the power button is shorted (even though I was very careful when soldering the PWR_BTN and GND wires to the button, indeed I used insulating tape between the solder joints) But perhaps there's a function in the OS that does that? Specs: generic case + PWR button that is also generic and seems to pertain to a different case (color scheme is different) i3 4160 1x8GB DDR3 1600 MHz H81M VG4 500 GB WD caviar blue 7200 RPM Cheap generic garbage PSU Windows 10 Pro 64-bit I barely changed windows settings, only to prevent discord from launching along with windows -
Computer was working fine yesterday. However when I tried to open it today morning it didn't opened up. Nothing happened when I pressed the power button. I tried removing the plug from socket, pressing reset button etc but nothing hapened. After pressing around 15 times I stopped. However when I tried again after an hour it booted normally. I had to shut down my pc 15 minutes ago and now when I am trying to open it again it again not responding.

Hi! I just received my new Lian Li o11 mini White and I finished building my PC. When I turn it on, the power button flashed from purple to blue. (Blue is the normal color) Any idea why? Note that I do not have my USB front panel plugged in, nor the USB C front panel. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Guys, A month ago, all of a sudden, I started facing power button issue with the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus. Note: Physically power button looks and pressing feels normal. Issue 1: When I choose to power off from power menu. First it turns off, but just after 3-4 seconds. It's turns back on automatically. So it's never getting turned off unless battery runs out. Issue 2: • Normally pressing the power button recognised as press & hold which opens power menu or the bixby voice. • Which is even showed up in Safe mode. • Even as shown in video, side menu actions works automatically without pressing the power button (as if power button is getting pressed automatically) Link to video uploaded on reddit Side Menu actions working automatically Recently, In issue 2, last one is mostly stopped happening i.e side menu actions working automatically. (Still need to confirm. Previously it was happening like it will never stop till the battery runs out.) I got One UI 4.1.1 update. After that, It looks like sometimes normal pressing power button turns off the screen (which was not happening when this issue started) but sometimes normally pressing the power button recognised as press & hold which opens power menu or the bixby voice and sometimes pressing power button does nothing But Issue 1 is still happening. Note: I have done factory reset before this update. Let me know what I can do to fix this Is there anyone who is facing the same issue? Is it a hardware issue as Issue 1 points at or software issue as we can see some improvements? -
Hey, so my friend just recently gave me his old case, but the power switch/button is missing.. Is there anywhere to buy a new one? I've seen there's a lot of different sites (including the offifical Phateks site) that sells replacement parts, but they don't seem to sell power buttons? Please let me know if you know where to get a new button or an alternative. Link for the case, just in case: https://phanteks.com/Eclipse-P300A.html

So I recently just got a Phanteks P300A case from my friend, but he's used some of the parts from it to mod.. So the power button is missing (including the whole panel for USB, aduio etc.) But would I be able to just jump my PC every time i wanna start it? I know it's kinda unreliable, but would I be able to do so without fucking anything up?

I've got a new motherboard the Intel DQ77MK and it uses standard connectors & headers and I've connected all front i/O to it and works well, but the power button for my Dell Vostro 270 is more or less proprietary with it having 11 pins instead of 9. This wouldn't be an issue with the Dell Vostro 270 Motherboard, but as I am now using a DQ77MK, it's hard to adapt the Dell Vostro 270's power connector. Right now as a makeshift solution, I've got a generic power switch that's hanging off the side and used that, but how could I use my original front panel power button instead & make it still maintain all it's capabilities. I've searched for adaptors but I can't find the right tags for it, plus the 11 pin looks like a HD Audio connector. I've attached a layout of an 9 pin connector versus an 11 pin connector for reference.

Hi guys I am building a desk for my computer and I'm wondering if this button will fit for my computer ? Also I would like to know the required voltage for the button because this one is for 3v and down and requires a resistor if the circuit is more than 3v

Today, I turned on my PC and felt a slight shock/vibration when I touched the power button. It turned on normally (with no visible signs of slowdown so far) and I'm using it to type in this post. I did a Google search on similar situations and reports of dead systems really had me worried that I might have harmed my new build even if it is working fine now. Should I be worried? Thanks in advance! -
Hi! So I was just gaming today and my computer just suddenly turned off without any warning messages or anything - like if the electricity was just cut. After that I tried turning it back on, but it didn't do anything. I tried disconnecting it from the power source, trying a different power socket and checked all the cables from the PSU (everything is where it should be, cables are connected tightly). When I press the power button the PLED1 light on the motherboard turns on with a red light, but apart from that nothing happens. (The lights for the VGA power connectors are on though the entire time). I think it's most likely a PSU issue, which is quite weird because the entire system (including the PSU) is about a month old... Any ideas to fix the problem? The motherboard is a ROG STRIX X99 Gaming and the power supply is a Cooler Master V850 (850W).

I am building a PC into an Ikea cabinet. I need a little help with the power button. I am a little confused over the momentary nature of the poser button. My research to date inclines me to belive that this RGB Anti-Vandal Button is what I am looking for. Am I right? Can someone clarify the difference between 2 and three poles and the difference between On-On vs On-(On)? Thanks -> Rant

Hi guys, I have an idea of turning on a pc with key. I would replace power button with switch, but I don't know electronics of PC so much and I would like to know what key switch do I need and the size shouldnt be more than 2 cm or 3 I think. I would like to turnit on with just spining key and key comes back to start position. I would like to be able to pull out tke key from switch while pc is on. Help me pls and if you know give me ebay parts list. Thanks!

I want to rewire my power button on my pc with an arcade power button and I need to know if i can just power the led in the button with the header on the motherboard or if I need to splice up a molex connector. I'll attach a picture of the type of button I am looking at using.

Hello, I already think I'm stupid for starting a topic on this... well.. topic, haha! I have a Fractal Design Define C case in wich I built my system. The problem is that I can't get the power button of the case to work, the led around it lights up and I THINK that I plugged the front IO connectors correctly. I have to mention that the reset switch works, USB's and the HDD led lights up and work no problem. Things I tried to do: - switch the contacts in the other way - use the included motherboard adapter The Motherboard is an ASUS Z270 TUF Mark I Below is a picture with the connectors shown in the manual:

Fellow Techies, I hope everyone is doing well and is being good, as Santa gets really watchful as Christmas gets closer. I have a Thermaltake Level 10 GT. I have enjoyed this case. Like everything in life there are pros and there are cons. The con that it is getting on my nerves and it will be the piece of straw that breaks the camels back is the d@mned BLUE LEDs for the power button and HDD light. I HATE the color blue. These two lights are obnoxiously bright and blue. How can I turn them into green? Orange is fine but I would prefer green. I thank you for your time. If anyone has had or has this same case, you know/will know what kind of issue I have. The LED can't just simply be replaced. It is stupidly small. Thank you in advanced and I am willing to make and post pictures. Also, I would really like to keep these light powered as it will make me feel a little better..... I know it has the LED fan on the front, but I grew up learning from my pc repairing dad to look for the power/hdd LED and it is a habit that is hard to break.... kinda like coke....... no I don't have a problem!.... *sniff*

Hi, i bought an Hp Pavilion G7 (used)...terrible idea, i know ... The thing is so old, when I opened it the power button pins fell off. I want to short it, but can't figure out which pins to short. If anyone knows more about this please help. Thanks ! -
I hope I'm posting this in the right subforum, if not, I apologize. So basically, two days ago I shut down my PC as usual, and it went through the "Shutting down" screen, and the screen turned black afterwards. However, I noticed that the power light on my PC case/tower was still on, and thar the fans were still spinning. This never happened before, so I got worried. I tried to press the power button once shortly to see if it would shut down - it didn't, so I pressed the restart button on my case and it restarted and booted up normally. When I shut down the PC again, it shut down normally. I tried looking around on the internet to find what could've been the cause of this, but I couldn't find anything. Could it be that my HDD is failing? Some other part? Windows issue? -
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15" 5558 (2015) The power button on this laptop became stuck for seemingly no reason. I tore down the laptop according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RV-N2sxVbg I made it to the power button assembly and unscrewed the screw holding the board down but can't really figure out what is preventing the button from being pressed. I unscrewed and screwed it back in multiple times with varying tightness, the button still wouldn't press. So then I had the thought that a small washer that fell out of the board when I was disassembling it might go on top of the actual button on the circuit. So I tried putting the washer underneath the button when I screwed the board back in, and the button did press a little bit this time, but not as much travel as normal and it stopped pressing after only one press. So then I rubbed the washer with a glue stick and tried again. This time the button seems to have slightly more travel when it clicks, though still not as much as there should be, but it is still pressing after several presses. I don't want to risk putting the whole laptop back together again in case the washer will easily come loose. I considered ordering a new power button assembly from eBay but I don't think the button on the circuit is broken, just whatever is supposed to press it is. Right now I'm not really sure what to do. If anyone has any advice or suggestions on this it would be greatly appreciated. Power button assembly Underside of assembly, gold thing is the button that interacts with the plastic power button.

I’m rebuilding pc in a new case and uhhhh forgot how to plug in the reset and power connectors (the tiny two pin ones that attach to the pins on the mobo) if I screw them up, can either damage the pc? Or it just won’t boot and I’ll have to redo it?

Just a quick question and need help in figuring out the problem. My motherboard is a AORUS x470 gaming WiFi 7 and the casing is a Lian-li PC011 and the front power button does not work. It lights up but when you press it, the system won't power up and instead I have to use the back power button. The first time I assembled it, it won't power up. The second time I assembled it (because I didn't like the wiring of the system) it powered up nicely via the front power button. The third and final time I assembled the system (because I was happy with the system) the front power button didn't work. Totally at a lost. Any idea on what's wrong and what can I do to fix this problem.
